i'm allowed

whenever Q wants to do something that he's really not allowed to do, he'll inform us that, "it's ok.  i'm allowed to..."

"i'm going to bring my ipod to school, mommy.  it's ok.  i'm allowed to bring my ipod."

"i'm going to bring my star wars guys to school.  it's ok.  i'm allowed to bring toys."

sometimes he'll even embellish, adding an authority figure to corroborate his plans...

"it's ok.  i'm allowed.  miss amanda said so."

adorable.  but not effective.
