A couple of years ago, Benjamin received a Rudolph doll that turns his head, lights up his nose and sings “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” (naturally).  It is one of his favorite toys.  A few days ago, it surfaced from the Christmas boxes and Benjamin immediately started pestering me to put batteries in it.  However, each time he asked, I was in the middle of something (and I was stalling a little because it is really loud).  Finally, after about the 30th time he asked, I said, “Benjamin, your are starting to become a pain.”

To which, he replied, “Do you know how to stop the pain?  Put batteries in Rudolph.”
