Just now...
Emily: Mama, wait! I need someone to carry me downstairs!
Mama: No, I am halfway down and my hands are full. I can't carry you, it is dangerous.
Emily: Please! On your back! I will get on your back.
You then proceeded to try to hang on my shoulders and I reacted with an exaggerated "aaaahhhhh" because it hurt AND I had told you no. I wanted you off immediately and I knew yelling would work faster - no argument from you.
Emily: I'm sorry Mama! (slump down on stairs) Now I'm never... (trailed off) You RUINED my DREAMS!
Mama: What? How did I ruin your dreams??
Emily: Because when I was sleeping, I dreamed that I was going to have a wonderful day and you just yelled at me. Screaming at me is not a wonderful day.
