If you were my kid....

一位老朋友到芝加哥出差。电话中邀请我们全家一块出去吃晚饭。考虑到明天孩子们就要上学，加上工作日中我自己和朋友还有机会一块吃饭，我就婉言拒绝了。事后跟老公说起，老公也表示同意。丫丫站在一旁，听了去，于是开始理论，

--Mama, but I want to go, I want to go have dinner with 叔叔。
--Eh，妈妈觉得咱们还是不去了。
--但是I really want to go.
--你又不认识叔叔，非去和叔叔吃什么饭呀？今天咱们也累了，就不去了。
--可是我不累，我真的想去。
--还是不去了，妈妈决定了。
丫丫不满意地撇撇嘴，继续，
--but mama, if you were my kid, I would have let you pick...
OMG, I was impressed.

Of course, later, we decided to go have dinner（respect my daughter's pick). and of course, our friend was very happy to hear the reason we changed our minds.
