Kids: Well, no . . . and yes . . . Now it comes to it, I don't feel like parting with it! It's mine! I found it! It came to me!
Kids: Well, no . . . and yes . . . Now it comes to it, I don't feel like parting with it! It's mine! I found it! It came to me!
Me: There's no need to get angry.
Kids: Well, if I am, it's your fault! It's mine. Mine . . . mine . . . My precious . . .
Me: Precious? It's been called that before, but not by you.
Kids: MAAAAHHHH! WHAT BUSINESS IS IT OF YOURS WHAT I DO WITH MY OWN THINGS?
Me: I think you've had that book quite long enough.
Kids: You want it for yourself!
Me: BILBO BAGGINS! DO NOT TAKE ME FOR SOME CONJURER OF CHORES TO DO! I'm not trying to rob you. I'm trying to get you to bed.
