I am asleep!

What you are about to read is a real transcript of a conversation I just had with my six-year-old. It has not been altered or editorialized in any way.

Me: Go to sleep.
Her: I am asleep.
Me: No, you're not.
Her: How do you know?
Me: You answered me, for one thing.
Her: So?
Me: Go to sleep.
Her: I want a drink.
Me: No drinks. Go to sleep.
Her: I'm not tired.
Me: Yes, you are.
Her: How do you know?
Me: Because we're still talking.
Her: Oh, ok.

I'm going to sleep now. Wait, maybe I already am...
