"Daddy, I want juice please"

[lokheed]

Invariably, the first thing that Ben wants when he wakes up in the morning is some juice. This is the actual exchange between us this morning:

Ben: "Juice."

Me (asleep): *grumble*

Ben: "Juice."

Me (waking up): "Ben, you need to ask nicely."

Ben: "Daddy, I want juice."

Me: "No, you need to ask nicely and use all your words."

Ben: "Daddy, I want juice. Ok."

Me: "Use *all* your words."

I am still mostly asleep, with my back to him and my eyes closed. Ben moves around a bit, and I hear him fumble with picking up his mostly-empty juice cup from the night before.

Then under the blanket he presses the VERY COLD juice cup against my bare back.

Ben (sumultaneously): "Juice!"

I'm tellin' ya, communication ain't the issue here...
