Bad whining: "But Mo-o-o-o-om, I don't want to eat coconut curry chicken! It tastes yucky! Noooooo!"
Good whining: "But Mo-o-o-om, when do we get to learn about the kidneys? We already learned about the respiratory system!"
I love the kind of learning that gets Mom scratching her head and asking the doctor, "How do you pronounce Vena Cava? Is Cava like CAVE? Or like it rhymes with lava? And is vena pronounced like vein-uh? Or venna?"
I always pronounced it vee-nuh kay-vuh. Or more phonetically: vē'nə kā'və
