Young Warrior

Owen: "I'll get a chocolate Pocky for me and strawberry for Ivan."

Me: "But what if Ivan wants chocolate?"

Owen: Exasperated silence

Me: "Ivan, do you want chocolate Pocky or strawberry?"

Ivan: "Cochlate"

Me: "Get Ivan a chocolate Pocky."

Owen: "But I want to make his decision today!"

He so thinks he's the parent some days...what am I saying? He thinks he's the parent everyday. I didn't know I'd have to compete for my ranking in this job but I do.

The following was after the Pocky was devoured.

Owen: "what is that brown cookie stuff?"

Me: "do you mean chocolate chips?"

Owen: "No, I said that brown cookie stuff?"

Me: "I know what you said, I'm trying to understand what you mean."

Owen: "That brown cookie stuff."

Me: "Yes, do you mean the cookie dough that surrounds the chocolate chips."

Owen: (smiling) "Yes, the cookie dough. Can I have that next?"

Me: "Of course not."
