It is a short, concise word.
It easily rolls of the tongue,
yet I seem to choke over it.

Toddlers verbalize it...
repetitively...
emphatically.

NO.

To my kids?
Absolutely.
Loudly.
Clearly.

NO..

...I don't think so.
...Absolutely not.
...way, Jose!
...what part of "N" "O" did you not understand?
...not now
...not ever
...I'm tired
...I'm sleepy
...I'm exhausted
...when you can pay for it yourself
...over my dead body
...so what?!
...because I said so
...you better not
...what did you just say to me?!

And, I cannot forget
the one and only time
"NO" comes last..

HELLLLLLLLLL, NOOOOO!

Yet, I can't belt it out to others. 

Unless it's followed by...

...it's okay
...don't worry about it
...it's no problem
...no worries
...I'll take care of it.

It's a short list, 

but it's the list that consumes.

No?
