A small boy is sent to bed by his father. Five minutes later:

“Da-ad . . . ”

“What?”

“I’m thirsty. Can you bring me a drink of water?”

“No. You had your chance. Lights out.”

Five minutes later: “Da-aaaad . . . ”

“WHAT?”

“I’m THIRSTY…Can I have a drink of water??”

“I told you NO! If you ask again I’ll have to punish you!!”

Five minutes later: “Daaaa-aaaad . . . ”

“WHAT??!!”

“When you come in to punish me, can you bring me a drink of water?”
