Burned by a four-year-old.

I was brushing the knots out of Berlin's hair before school when the following conversation occurred.

BERLIN: Daddy, it hurts!

ME: Just hold still and it won't hurt.

BERLIN: No!

At this point I decided to use some good ol' fashioned parent judo.

ME: Berlin, if you don't hold still and let me brush the knots out of your hair, your hair will fall out.

Berlin paused for a moment.

BERLIN: Is that what happened to you?
