Here's The Deal

Today Ryan started using a new phrase that cracked me up. We were in the car, just about to leave our driveway for the store, and prior to getting in the car he got in a little trouble for not listening to me about something. So when we got in the car he said, "Mom. Here's the deal. You can't yell. You can't be mad. And you can't put me in time out." The phrase that cracked me up was "Here's the deal." And earlier this evening he said it again when he was playing football with Scott in the livingroom. He stopped during their game, walked over to Grace and I sitting on the couch, and said, "Mom. Here's the deal. You and Grace are the coaches." The stuff kids say - it's too funny.
