Scene: At Home
Me: "Liam, would you like some crackers?"
Liam: "No thanks."
Me, opening package of crackers, ~~ crinkle, crinkle~~
Liam: "Can I have one?"
Me: "Sure, but didn't I just ask you if you wanted crackers? Why didn't you tell me you wanted some?"
Liam: "Well, I didn't know it was these crackers. I like these crackers." (takes two crackers)
Jill: "Can I have one Mommy?"
Me: "Sure, here you go, Jilly Jill."
Jill: (drops cracker on floor) "Can I have another one?"
Me: "Here."
Me: (hands Jill the rest of the package). ~~ confused look ~~
Scene: At the Waterpark
Me: "OK, let's go get some snacks. Liam and Jill, what do you want?"
Liam: "Ice cream!"
Jill: "Ice cream!"
Me: "I want an ICEE!"
(head back to our chairs)
Liam: "Mommy, can I have some of your ICEE?"
Jill: "Mommy, can I have some of your ICEE?"
(hands me back 1/2 gone ICEE)
Me: "Guys, if you wanted an ICEE why didn't you just say you wanted an ICEE? Now half my ICEE is gone."
Liam: "I thought an ICEE was ice cream."
Me: ~~ confused look ~~
Scene: At a Restaurant
(soup that I order comes to table)
Jill: "Mommy, can I taste your soup?"
Me: "Sure."

Me: "Jill, that's my soup. I would like to have some."
Jill: "But I like it."
Me: ~~ confused look ~~
Scene: Eating take out at home
(ordering thai food. I asked Liam if he would like some of "the chicken and noodles that you really like [pad si ew]. he declines, says he would like waffles for dinner. I order for me and Jill and we're sitting down to eat)
Liam: "That's so unfair, how come Jill gets chicken and noodles?"
Me: "Liam, I asked you if you wanted some when I was ordering, you said no."
Liam: "But, I love those chicken and noodles."
Me: "I know Liam, that's why I asked you if you would like some."
Liam: "Well, I want some now."
Me: "Well, let me call up the Thai chef and ask him to come over to make you some."
Liam: "OK."
Me: (he proceeds to eat half the order) ~~ confused look ~~
When does it end?
