super duper sad

the kid: mommy, I'm very very very very very... (insert about 20 "very"s here) sad.
me: that's a lot of verys. why are you so sad?
the kid: because I really want (video game) and you said no.
me: that's because it's rated "t", so it's not appropriate for you. 
the kid: I know, but I'm still so very sad. (pout) 
me: I'm sorry you're so very sad.
the kid: my heart is so very sad. super duper sad. and it'll never get happy again until I get (video game).
me: wow. your heart is going to be super duper sad for a very long time, then. (pout back at him) and that makes me sad because I love you and I have to do what's best for you even if it makes you sad.
the kid: (sigh) I love you, mommy. even when you're a mean mommy. 'cause you don't like to be mean. you're just doing your job.  
me: that's right. (wow! he's been listening!) and I love you forever and ever. no matter what.
the kid: yay! that makes my heart happy. super duper happy. (happy sigh)
