Isn't it amazing how adding just a single word to a sentence can completely change it meaning? I was reminding of fact recently through an encounter with our 3 year old granddaughter.

Our 3 year old granddaughter was visiting when we were just a hour away from dinner. She asked if she could have some ice cream so I sent her into the living room to ask her father knowing full well what the answer would be.

Sure enough- from the living room I could hear him respond firmly "Tell Grandma I said, NO"- She cheerfully skipped back into the kitchen, smiled broadly and said "Daddy says 'No....problem'!"

See, I told you one word can make all the difference!
