Pessimists and Mega-pests

A while back there was a bit of a discussion at the kitchen table. I called the M.O.T.H. a "pessimist", which he is, even if he calls it being a "realist". Our youngest rushed to his defence, he needs all the help he can get these days, and said:
"Well Mummy, I think you are a mega-pest, 'cause you're always saying "No" to me."

Is there a good reply? I still haven't thought of one.

I seem to remember another young lady who could get words wrong and improve them. 'My Pa is rather porculent'. Like mother like daughter. I rest me case.
