Will manipulate for gelato.

Overheard:
Oh truck, you have to go in time out.  Why?  Because you made sad choices.  Oh, ok.  Why is he in time out?  Because he didn't listen to me 1-2-3 times.  That makes me sad that my friend is in time out.  Ok, you're all done with time out now.  Do you want a hug?  Yay, ok, make happy choices now.

At the bookstore, the Nugget made friends with the young cashier who sold us gelato and a hot pretzel.  She complimented his jacket and gave him a high five.  Before we left, he insisted he needed to go see her and tell her something.  We naively thought he was going to tell her he was going home, and her station was right by the front door, so we agreed.  Instead, he walks up and proclaims, "I am having a terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day."  (We're like, 'Are you serious??' because this 'bad' day included a bike ride, a big wheel ride, romping with Shamrock and pulling his wagon at the school field, stomping in puddles, and this special trip to the bookstore.)  And she totally buys it, "Aww, can I give you a sample of gelato to make you feel better?"  The Nugget nods solemnly, "Yes."  When can I sign this kid up for theater classes?
