Begging for Betsy's House

I've created a BIG problem. After watching Toy Story, Matthew decided he wanted a green car. (Maybe there's a green car in the movie?) He said something about buying one. Aunt Betsy was online and so I IM'd her, telling her of Matthew's wish. Betsy said "Don has a bunch of green cars." Don owns a car dealership, for those who do not know.

Without thinking, I told this to Matthew. I should've thought better of this. Matthew immediately went and got his coat from the closet, and declared that he wanted to go to Betsy's house. He was dismayed that I was just sitting there, and started getting hysterical, saying "Let's go to Betsy's house. Let's go to the "earport". Come on, let's go!!!!" It went on and on, and I had to explain that we will go when it's warmer. He wanted none of that. Oh, the tears.

When Dad woke him up from his nap later, Matthew said "I want to go to Betsy's house. I'll put my pants on." When he came downstairs, he exclaimed, "get dressed mama, let's go to the earport." I told him we'll go when it's warmer, and he said "It is warm." (It was about 38 degrees.) I fully expect it to be the first thing out of his mouth this morning--Friday--when he wakes up.

I took a few pictures of the incident. The captions below the photos tell the story.
