Breakfast Conversation

Ellie (with varying tone and inflection): "Blahh, ba ma ma, blah sup ta."

Kate: "No, Elwee, you can’t have more Lucky Charms."

Ellie (more insistent): "Blahh, ma ta blah ba ba"

Kate: "Elwee, mommy said we’re all out of Lucky Charms."

Ellie (gesturing): "Ma ta ba blah blah."

Kate (very firm): "No…You can’t have seconds. Now please stop talking about it."

*This is an actual breakfast conversation. It went down exactly like that. It happens all the time. Kate really believes that “Elwee” was asking for more Lucky Charms. Who knows…maybe she was!
