I see it is bath time. Would you like me to take all of this water in the bath and relocate it to the floor? |
MUM |
I would not like you to do that. |
CHILD |
Are you quite sure about that? |
MUM |
Very sure, yes. |
CHILD |
I’ll just put some of the water out there right now because I feel like you don’t understand what I’m offering here. |
MUM |
I understand perfectly. Please stop. |
CHILD |
No, but I meant so much more than that. Like this. See how it looks now? |
MUM |
Stop. Stop it immediately. I mean it. |
CHILD |
Perhaps just a little bit more. |
MUM |
What is wrong with you? I said stop. |
CHILD |
I don’t think you did. |
MUM |
I absolutely did. Stop right now. |
CHILD |
Wait, just a little bit more. |
MUM |
GET OUT OF THE BATH. |
CHILD |
Why? |
MUM |
I told you to stop splashing. |
CHILD |
Oh, did you? I must have misunderstood. I thought you meant to splash more. Like this. |
MUM |
