Me: Ben, where did you put the key?

Ben: I don't have they key.

Me: Ben, I need the key.

Ben: I don't have the key.

Me: Benjamin. I NEED that key. Where did you put it?

Ben: I don't have it.

Me: Of course you don't. Where is it?

Ben: What?

Me: Ben!

Ben: What?

Me: The key!!!

Ben: I don't have the key.

Me: Ben, go downstairs and get the key.

Ben leaves. Comes back.

Ben: I had to go pee.

Me: Where is the key?

Ben: Huh?

Me: Ben, I'm getting tired of this. What did you do with the key?

Ben: I didn't do anything with the key.

Me: Ben.

Ben: Wait... What?

Me: Ben.

Ben: I don't have the key.

Me: Ben.

Ben: I wasn't playing with the key.

Me: Ben.

Ben: It wasn't me.

Me: Ben.

Ben: Huh?

Me: The key. Now.

Ben: Uh...

Me: NOW.

Ben leaves. Comes back.

Me: The key?

Me: BENJAMIN GOTTLIEB!!!!

Ben: Oh, the key?

Me: The key.

Ben: The gold key?

Me: BEN!!!

Ben: Oh, that. It's on the sink.

Me: Will you PLEASE go get it and bring it to me?

Ben leaves. Comes back.

Ben: This key?

Holds up missing key.

Me: Thank you. Please don't take things that don't belong to you.

Ben: Huh?

Me: The key, Ben. You shouldn't take things that don't belong to you.

Ben: Oh. Um...I don't have the key.

Me: *sigh* Good night, Ben.

Ben: Night, Mom.

I turn to leave.

Ben: Mom?

Me: Yes, Ben?

Ben: If you don't need that key, can I have it?
