Mason's Persistence

Mason is persistent. He does not take no for an answer. This morning I went downstairs to work on my Econometrics homework. Mason had concentration set up on the floor.

Mason: I want to play concentration with you, Dad.

Me: Sorry, Mason, I have to work on my math homework this morning.

Mason: Well, which one do you choose.

Me: No, Mason, I can't play.

Mason: Okay, just tell me which one you want to pick.

Me: No, you don't understand; I can't play at all.

Mason: Well, do you want to pick the top corner or bottom corner.

Me: No, Mason, I can't play.

As I was walking upstairs to get something, he shouted after me, "Dad, you got a dog [referring to the concentration piece he picked for me!]".
