We were having hamburgers for dinner, getting all the plates ready…
Jason: Kristie, do you want cheese?
Kristie: Yes.
Ellie: I want cheese!!
Jason: Ellie, you don’t like that kind of cheese. (we had run out of American and only had cheddar and provolone)
Ellie: I DO like it!
Jason: No, you don’t like it. I know you don’t.
Ellie: I DO LIKE IT!!!!!
Jason: Okay fine. (puts the cheese on Ellie’s hamburger)
Ellie: I want the cheese on the bread and the hotdog on the cheese.
Jason: These are hamburgers.
Ellie: I want the cheese on the bread and the thing on the cheese.
Jason: (arranges the hamburger and cheese in the requested order)
Ellie: I don’t like that kind of cheese.
Jason: (represses urge to strangle three-year-old and takes off cheese)
that’s our Ellie!
