Bubble gum, bribes, and farting around

Mommy has been very busy at work lately, so it's been pretty important that we get up quickly and get Lainey to school in the mornings.  But Princess Bananafana likes to fart around- mostly because she gets a kick out of it when I tell her "Hey, quit fartin around, we gotta get going!"
So this morning I told her we needed to get going.  It went like this:
L: Am I farting around?
M: You're not at farting around level yet, but you're getting there.
L: Just five more minutes okay?  I'm not ready yet.
M: You have until Mommy is finished getting dressed.
- 30 seconds later-
M: OK baby, lets get your clothes on.
L: No I'm not ready yet.
M: Now you're farting around. 
-pause for the giggle from Lainey.  And Mommy, I'll be honest.-
M: Lets go sweetie, lets get dressed.
L: Hey, Boppa calls me Sweetie.  Want to hear me be like Boppa?  (In a deep voice) "Hello Sweetie, I'm Boppa"!
M: ha ha, that's pretty good Lainey.  Okay lets get dressed.
L: Boppa wants to wear his jammies to school.
M: Come on, please LB, lets get dressed.  I'll give you a piece of bubble gum.  (Yeah, I did say that.)
L: No Momma, that's for when I poop in the potty!
M: (In my head) Crap.  (Out loud) Yep, you're right.  Thanks for reminding me.
L: But you can give me one anyway for being a good girl.
M: OK deal, but only if you get dressed.
L: No, just one more minute.
