  8. I got inspired to give this a go!

    Me: Hey Flynnie, Can I ask you some questions?
    F: Can I’ve some more water?
    M: Sure, then can I ask you some questions?
    F: No.
    M: Oh, why not?
    F: I don’t like questions.
    M: Can we have a chat?
    F: No.
    M: Why not?
    F: I don’t like to. (Runs off to play)

    Well, that didn’t go according to plan at all. Will try that again tomorrow.
