persistent, if nothing else.

i'm in the shower.  even still, i am rarely alone.

neve opens the shower door.

"excuse me, neve.  do you need something?"


"yes.  mom?"


"hi neve.  what's up?"


"can i watch tv?"


"ask your father.  i'm in the shower.  see?"


"i did ask him."


"what did he say?"


"no."


"then why are you asking me?"


"because i'm hoping you will say yes."


"but that's not how it works.  if daddy says no, the answer is no."

no idea that this discussion was over before it started, she continues with what she considers brilliant reasoning,

"yeah, but if i don't tell you that i asked him first, you might say yes.  that's why i asked you.  so can i?"
