Eli: [Said in the most whiny, sorry for himself voice] "I wish I was Franklin" (as in the annoying turtle - kids TV show)
Me: "Why?"
Eli: [Same annoying, hard done to, whiny voice] "Because he gets everything that he wants, I never get anything I want."
Me: Some random remark about having a shell and how inconvenient that would be.
All because I wouldn't let him bring some big massive toy in the car :-)
