Just a little "hands on the hips" for emphasis.

Last night we were putting Ethan to bed. I always read him books and lay down with him.

Since Sydney had been asleep since 6pm, I asked him if Daddy can read him books. He said no.

Nathan was about to walk downstairs when this short exchange occurs:

"Daddy, I need to talk to you. Come here." Ethan has put his hands on his hips for emphasis.

Nathan bends down to show he wants to hear.

"Daddy, You won can read me boooooks. Oly Mommy."

Nathan says, "Oh. ok. You want me to read you books?"

Ethan, "NO!"

Me, "Honey, he said he won't and can't let you read books. Only Mommy."

Nathan and I stood their laughing silently as Ethan grabs my hand and walks me away to his room.
