can i have her now?

So I asked my daughter when she was here, speaking of my grandbaby of course, "Can I have her?"

"No, Mom."

"So when you go back on home, do you think maybe I can have her then?"

"No. Mom, no."

"So can I have her now?"

"Mom! No!"

"How about now?"

"No!"

"Can I h . . . "

"No!"

I waited for a little while. Let the subject drop away.

"So, you know, I'm thinking I'll do grandma camps. I think that would be fun."

"That would be cool. Yeah, it would."

"Starting with next week."

"No! Mom! Just no!"

I think I'm really breaking her down now.
