Setting: Early morning, a Mom (me, actually) is in her kitchen preparing breakfast for her kids before she sends them off to school for the day.

Mom: Are you hungry?

Little boy: Noooo! I want to kick your butt!

Little boy: (as he's kicking his mother's bum) Hiiiii yahhh!!!

Mom: Feel better?

Little boy: (giggles) yeah!
