Caleb: [whining about something]
Mommy: Caleb, that is an ugly noise and I don’t want to listen to it.
Caleb: It’s a whiny noise and it is my choice to make a whiny noise ‘cause I want to.
Mommy: Okay, it’s a whiny noise. But whatever you call it, I don’t like it and it is disturbing my peace.
Caleb: What is “peace”, Mama?
Mommy: Peace is a happy feeling inside that I feel when nothing is bothering me.
Caleb: Oh. [silent pause] I sorry its ‘turbing your peace, Mama, but it’s still my choice, and your peace is just going to have to go away.

LOL! Kids are so honest it really is precious. But I do know that it is very hard to tolerate whiny, yet it is hard to control another person, too! :) Hang in there.
BTW, did you see the "book" I wrote on your MDO post? Sorry it took me so long to have a chance to sit and type a response for you, but I do hope it helps some. :)
I plan to respond to your MDO post eventually, too, but the short answer is that I think your perspective sound more than reasonable.
I'm sure the whining is irritating, but Caleb's response is well thought-out and very cute.
Love it!
That is too funny!
