N: I want to write all about this in my journal.

N: Dad, let's play "Little House in the Big Woods." *
Dad: O.K. How do we play?
N: Well, I'm Pa and you're Mary, Laura and Ma.
Dad: Uh. That sounds kind of hard.
N: Well, that's the way it's done. Now go into the cosy house and I'll go kill the pig.

N is so authoritative! THAT'S THE WAY IT'S DONE.
