Negotiations with a Four Year Old

Conversation before church this morning:

CHRISTINA: "Mommy, can I take this baby doll to church...pleeeeease?"
ME: "You may take it in the car, but you cannot take it into church."
CHRISTINA: "Why?"
ME: "Because we don't take toys into church honey."
CHRISTINA: "It's not a toy Mommy, it's a baby doll."
ME: "Christina it doesn't matter, you cannot take it to church."
CHRISTINA: "But Mommy, she won't talk!"
ME: (after a minute of laughing) "Christina, the answer is NO."
CHRISTINA: throws the baby doll down in disgust and heads into the living room.

I guess she made her decision.
