The manipulation starts early

I posted a little while back about Nathan and the pumpkin book and how he was afraid of the witches in the pumpkin book.

A couple of days ago Nathan didn't want to go to sleep (what's new huh). He tried everything, I'm thirsty (here's your cup of water), little einsteins? (no, it's too late), one more book (we've read 4 boooks already). It's lights out and I'm just about ready to leave the room. He's got his head on the bed rail looking at me forlornly and he says "I scared da witches" (Yes, sometimes our son sounds like an italian mobster) Very pathetic. Sometimes he's just too smart. But all he got was a hug and a kiss and I was outta the room. Nice try though.
