A Conversation with Maeréad ....
.... a few weeks ago when I took her to bar to watch pizzas being made went something like this. Remember, she is only four, and didn't want to do something I told her to do.
Maeréad: Why should I do that?
Me: Because I told you and I'm your uncle!
Maeréad: Uncle Oscar! "Uncle Oscar" is your name. All my uncles live in Ireland.
Me: Oh.
As far as I know, there is no known way to win an argument with Maeréad short of picking her up and making her do what you want. Or sending her to bed.

Oh Uncle Oscar! I'm so glad your learning about reasoning with a four year old! It gave me such a chuckle.
