Here is a conversation I had with the kids one day. I asked Ethan and Bonnie what they wanted for lunch. To be helpful, I started suggesting things I knew we had, and was willing to make. One of the first things that I suggested was chicken noodle soup. Bonnie immediately said, "Yes, yes, yes!!!" Ethan said, "I don't want chicken soup." I said, "Fine, what do you want?" "I don't want chicken soup!" "Caught that. What do you want?" "I don't want chicken soup!!" "OK, please tell me what do you want?" "I don't want chicken soup!!!" "I didn't tell you that you HAD to have chicken soup, what you DO HAVE to do, is tell me what else you would like to eat!!!" "Oh, I guess I will have chicken soup." AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
