Umm.. no thank you.

Us: "Elliot, time for your pajamas."
He: "Umm... no thank you."

Us: "Elliot, would you like a clean diaper?"
He: "Umm... no thank you."
Us: "Maybe we should explain. You see, we were just being polite. You really need to have a new diaper."
He: "I SAID NO THANKYOU!"

Apparently Elliot Murray believes that by adding an umm... at the beginning and a thankyou at the end of any defiance, it makes him seem thoughtful and considerate.

What he thinks we think:

"well... he has said no, but he put some thought into it first. And he was nice enough to say thankyou to us for offering him the opportunity for a new diaper and so perhaps we should listen to what he has to say."

What we really think:

"this isn't going to go very well."

Then I pick him up and take him to the clean diapers. This scene always reminds me of Return of the Jedi when Darth Vader picks up the Emperor because, as the Emperor continues tossing lightning bolts at his betrayer while air-lifted, Elliot continues to say "No Thankyou" over and over in a louder and more frustrated voice.

Simon is Chewbacca in this particular allusion.

Misty is a Jawa.
