Setup: We're eating in our van at an A&W. Ella (6) and Jen (29*) are in the front seats. Melanie (3.5) and Andy (33, though I doubt you really care) are in the next seats back. Melanie is holding her burger. Andy is in charge of the mug full of "Root Beard" (as Melanie cutely calls it) and the bag of french fries. Melanie's been on a long string of fries and neglecting her burger a bit.
Andy: Ok. One more fry, but your next bite will be burger.
Melanie: No. I'll have another fry.
Andy: No, sweetie, you need to eat some more burger.
[Melanie walks around her chair and returns with a fry from the cup holder where she'd apparently been storing some of her previously obtained fries.]
Melanie (proudly holding a new fry): No. I'll have another fry.
[Check and mate.]
