Grandma: (laughing so hard she's falling out of the chair)

As I'm walking out after tucking our insomniac into bed for the 3rd time...

Me: Do you promise you'll stay in your bed and not get up again for any reason?
Jaden: Yes...I promise. But what if I'm bleeding profusely?
Kidspeak
Me: Ow! This sunburn really hurts!
Jaden: Mom, I'm beginning to really wish you had used sunblock.
Me (hearing his irritation): Yeah, I guess I'll stop complaining now and just remember the sunblock next time.
Jaden: I'd like that.
