7yo: Dad can we go to Shake Shack for dinner?

Me: No, we just went there on Monday

7yo: Pleeeeease

Me: No, we're not going to do that

7yo: You're not hearing my feedback. Reopen this issue so that others can weigh in, and also commit to a timeline for reconsidering this

Me: Who taught you that?
