When Enough is Not Enough

We went to a lovely park for a picnic today, Riley had an awesome time, but when he failed to catch any tadpoles this was the conversation we drove home having.

Riley: Can we please go to the pet store and get a new pet?
Me: We don't buy pet's from pet stores.
Riley: I was thinking a mynah bird.
Me: No.
Riley: The dog was telling me that he is quite lonely and would love some company, he asked for a puppy.
Me: No.
Riley: The cat said he would be less grumpy if he had a kitten like the one X has.
Me: No
Riley: That's not fair, I will pay for it myself, I have a bag of money.
Me: Riley, sorry, but your bag of money is not enough to buy a new pet.
Riley: It is if we go to an animal shelter, which is what I meant.
Me: No.
Riley: You haven't seen my bag of money, there is more there than you think.
Me: No.

Silence

Riley: Maybe a fish?
Me: No!

We had to stop at a petrol station to get some milk.

Riley: Cool! Look at these sunglasses, can I get them please?
Me: No.
Riley: Look at these torches can I please get a torch? We need a torch, we don't have a torch.
Me: No.

Last leg home.

Riley: Can we go to X's house?
Me: No.
Riley: Can we go to Y's house?
Me: No.
Riley: Can we go to Z's house?
Me: No!
