Bored

The incident my sister refers to in this comment involved an exchange between my oldest niece and myself while my sister's children were here for the evening:

Niece: "I don't like to be bored."
Me: "Oh, I don't think..."
Niece: "I don't like to be bored. But my mommy likes me to be bored."
Me: "I don't think..."
Niece: "I don't like to be bored. But my mommy likes me to be bored. I don't want to be bored. But my mommy wants me to be bored."

(Wanders off with a number of My Little Ponys, obviously not bored).
