July 26, 2010: Kids say...breakfast order

Setup: Breakfast. Melanie (3) has finished her banana and is moving on to the cereal round.

Andy: Would you like Fruity Cheerios...?
Melanie: No.
Andy: ... would you like Chex...?
Melanie: Yes. ONLY Chex.
Andy: Ok. Only Chex. Do you want all three kinds...?
Melanie: Yes. All three. Only Chex.
Andy: Alrighty. "Only Chex, all three kinds" coming right up.
Melanie: And Cheerios.
Andy: Of course. "Only" Chex... and Cheerios.
[Andy retrieves the cereal from the cupboard and begins pouring into Melanie's bowl.]
Melanie: I wanted Cheerios.
Andy: Yes, sweetie, but I'm pouring the "all three kinds only Chex" first.
Melanie: Oh. [points to the Wheat Chex] And not that one.
Andy: Sure. Only Chex, all three kinds, and Cheerios, and not that one. Got it.
