My son, simultaneously opening up the pantry and fridge (yeah, he’s talented), whining…
Me (Mommy): You hungry?
Son: Yea
Mommy: Do you want peaches or pears?
blank stare
Mommy: peaches or pears?
Son: pea
Mommy: ok, here
Son: noooooooo
Mommy: So you don’t want them? Do you want pears?
Son: nooooooo
Mommy: do you want raisins?
Son: noooooo
Mommy: cheese?
Son: nooooo
Mommy: raisins or cheese?
Son: Yea (with a smile)
Mommy: which one?
Son: Yea
Mommy: raisins or cheese?
Son: no no no no no
Mommy: ok, so you aren’t hungry?
