Good Argument

Elise is obsessed with bicycles lately. Today while we were shopping...

Elise: Mommy. I neeeeeeeeeed a bicycle.
Me: You NEED a bicycle?
Elise: Yes.
(pause)
Elise: I need to learn, Mommy.
(pause)
Elise: I be careful.
Me: You're making a pretty strong case. I like that. Daddy and I will talk about it.

How can you say no to such well-reasoned cuteness? Hopefully she really means "tricycle"...
