So I'm sitting at my desk, with my 20-month old in my lap. She is pointing at something and yelling "Pi! Pi!"
I realize that she's pointing at the pick holder that's attached to the corner of my desk. I attempt to explain to her that picks are not toys, and she'll just have to play with something else.
"Pi Pi!"
I explain that those are actually quite expensive, and she would likely lose them, so she can't play with them.
"Pi Pi!"
This goes on for a minute, until I fold like the giant pushover that I am, and let her take a pick out of the holder. She immediately jumps down on the floor and runs off to pick up her Elmo guitar and strum at it with great vigor, while exclaiming "Daddy! Daddy!"
So I quit doing whatever online nonsense I was up to, and I go sit down in the floor and strum on the Elmo guitar with her.
And if it ends up costing a Wegen or two, I can't think of a better way to lose them. Best jam session I've ever been in.
