I don't exactly remember how it started--all I know is that we went on like this for maybe ten minutes. Me and my little brother: Hadley.
"Yes," the four year old proclaimed.
"No."
"Yes!"
"No, no."
"Yess!"
"No, no-no."
"Yes!"
"No."
"Yes."
"No, no, no."
"Yes, yes!"
"No no."
He laughed in delight, "Yes!"
"Nope."
"Yes," he giggled.
I shook my head indefinitely, "No--no no no."
"Yes!"
"No."
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes, yes!"
"No, no, child."
"Yes!" he demanded, but he was smiling, the little gap between his two front teeth making him look innocent. Be assured he is not innocent. He's a crazy child.
"No no no."
"Yes yes yes!"
"Uh, no."
We went on for, what, ten to fifteen minutes? I'm not exaggerating at all. I'm not kidding when I say that we went at it for that long. Finally, amazingly, it ended.
Unfortunately, it was me that had to end it. That kid runs on infinite batteries. He has so much energy, I had to break it off eventually.
"Yes," the child laughed. "Yes!"
I sighed, standing, "Goodbye, kid."
He just grinned with that toothy gap between his teeth, the picture of adorable. I shook my head. The kid was crazy.
