Manipulator

Lately, Landon has been telling me what he "needs." He no longer says "want" but has replaced it with "need" and "has to." This was our conversation today:

L - Let's go ouwtside, mommy.
Me - We can't, Landon, it's raining.
L - Yes, mommy...I HAVE to. I HAVE to hit da ball.
Me - Landon, look--it's raining! We'll go outside later.
L - No, mommy. I NEED to hit it so far. I HAVE to!

Or, tonight at dinner....

L - Daddy, I need a bite (he was eating a piece of Key Lime Pie--homemade, naturally)
Aaron - What?
L - A bite, daddy! I NEED a bite of dat. Yeah, dat. I need it.

I then tried to use his logic. Mommy NEEDS a massage! I HAVE TO have one. So far, nothing has happened.
