Me: It’s almost dinner time, let’s wait.
4yo: But just a little bread? Me: No, when you eat this close to dinner you don’t eat dinner.
4yo: [getting mad] Then I’m not hungry!
Me: Good, then you don’t need to eat right now.
4yo: [defiantly] Fine! Then I’ll eat dinner!
Me: I…think I actually won that round, my little would-be dictator.
