Breakfast Exchange

The Governor is going through a Honey Nut Cheerios phase. Perhaps obsession is a more accurate term. He could eat them for every meal. I'm finding it difficult to get him to eat anything else. This morning he climbs up on his chair and says:

Mom. Three things. A bowl. Honey Nut Cheerios. A spoon. Milk.

Dear, that's four things.

Oh yeah. Four things.

I pour, he eats. When he's done:

Mom, more Honey Nut Cheerios please.

Nope. How about a banana or an apple?

No. Cheerios.

No. Fruit

No. Cheerios.

No.

Well, if YOU won't give me more Cheerios, I'm going to DRINK THE MILK IN THE BOWL!

You WOULDN'T!

The milk was almost gone when he realized that drinking it wasn't upsetting me. He put his spoon down.

Mom, can I have a banana.

Well, I don't know...are you sure you really want one?

Yeah! I want a banana!

Positive?

Yes! Gimme a banana!

You're really going to eat an entire banana?

AUUUUGH!! Can you just give me the banana?!

Well, okay. Here you go. Funny, I thought you would have wanted some more Honey Nut Cheerios.

I know I shouldn't mess with his little mind like that, but you should have seen his face. You can't buy better entertainment.
