Me: “Tom.  You are driving me up the wall!”

Tom: “No.  I can’t drive.  I can’t go up the wall, it’s too slippery.  It’s a tall mountain.  I can’t do that.”

*Then he walks over to it and pushes on it.*

Tom: “No.  Can’t drive up the wall.”

And that whole response made me laugh, so he didn’t have to go to time-out after all.

Well played, Tom.

Well played.
