Hi Bernie (Xena here)
My mom likes to say no a lot too, maybe they know eachother?
I found a cool blue kind of spikey ball the other day and she took it from me.
She said no no Xena, that is a dryer ball and threw it back into the big machine that makes a lot of of noise. No fair!
So yeah, I know how you feel! Sometimes it's like they don't want us to have any fun.
Sincerely,
Xena
