I can't hear you....

We are in the midst of an all out whining and begging session in our house. The weather has been nasty all day and the kids have cabin fever. Our littlest son cannot stand to be stuck inside all day. If he has asked me once he asked asked me a dozen times to go outside and ride his bike. I am presently pretending to be intently researching what is three best dfiet pill on the market and focusing intently on the computer screen. If I tell him one more time that we cannot go outside and ride bikes in the pouring rain I believe he is going to throw a screaming fit. His little four year old mind cannot comprehend why the pouring rain and lighting would have any impact on whether he can ride his bike or not. I can only imagine what his thought processes will be when winter sets in.
