Kids Say the Darndest Things

Tonight, while trying to get Austin to take medicine for a croupy cold, he
gave me one of those not so often heard excuses. The conversation went as
follows:
Nana (that's me): "Austin, I need you to take some medicine to help you
feel better."
Austin: "No, I don't want to!"
Nana: "But, if you take the medicine it will help you stop coughing and
and help your runny nose."
Austin: I said I don't want to!
Nana: "But Austin, if you don't take the medicine how are you going to
feel better?"
Austin: (with his hands braced against the island of the kitchen, gritting
his teeth) "I said I don't want to, besides it's night time and moon makes
me sneeze. I'm not taking the medicine!"
Nana: Laughing, and trying to keep it together. "Well alright then, if that's
the best excuse you could think of, you don't have to take your medicine
until later. "
Austin:" Okay then! I won't."

I have truly heard a lot of excuses from this little guy, but this one was by
far the best so far.
