In vain

"Mattie! Where are you going? To John's house?
I haven't seen you all day!

Please don't go!

Stay with me! Visit with ME! I miss you!"

"Fine. I am not going to LET you go. I am just going to stand right in this spot and I DARE you to try and pass me.

What? You think that big tractor scares me? You don't think I can stop you?

"Mattie? wha.. Whatca doing?"
