Moment of Brilliance

It goes something like this...

While sitting in my lap, Jadon whacked himself on his head with his fist.

"Don't do that," I said in shock,"Does your head hurt?"
"No, I just felt like hitting it," Jadon responded.
"Please don't do that again, okay?"
Jadon twisted to look up at me before asking,"Why?"
"Because I don't like watching you hit yourself on purpose. Your head is precious."
As he hits himself again he says,"But I like to!"

I'm not sure what mother doesn't get at least a little distressed at the sight of her child hitting themselves on the head on purpose... I was disconcerted, to say the least.
"Jadon, if you won't stop hitting your head you'll get in trouble!"
By now he was laughing at my protests. "But why? It's my head," he reasoned with glee.

"Well, as long as you're in my house that's my head. So stop hitting it!"

Yes, that was my brilliance shining with all it's glory... the best I could come up with - much to my husband and daughter's delight, who happen to be listening in the next room...

At least all the laughing got Jadon to stop hitting his head.
