DD9 has craved an iPhone but we said no, so yesterday she went and made her own complete with hairpin stylus:

The phone is on its charger and you slide the apps behind the plastic bag screen cover. Her cousin made one too, and the little round cut-out puppy is to stick on her cousin's fake iPhone screen so they can play the same game "online."

I wonder how many opportunities for creativity we have extinguished over the years by using the much easier "yes" word...

Has anyone more aggressively applied the "no" more than "yes" and seen similar positive results?
