"I'm bored. Can I watch TV? Can I play video games? Can I call a friend? ... Yes? - (... quick calls to several friends, unanswered, unreturned ... looking for something else ...) Can I ride my bike? Can I play in the garage? ... Yes?-Thanks!" ... (and they're gone to play in the garage).
Later ... a friend comes over to ask if they want to play ...
"No thanks ... "
( - Wait! - What?!?! - Why in the world would you turn them down? ... *head shake, eye roll* - followed by said child running back outside and chasing down said friend to ask if they would still like to play - )
