Dessert!

After dinner, we usually give Jonathan a dessert. So, as usual, tonight after dinner he asked for dessert:

J: "I would like dessert now please."

us: "You're ready for dessert?"

J: "I all finished eating. I'm all done and I'm full now and I would like dessert."

us: "Okay. No problem. What would you like for dessert?"

J: "Dessert!"

us: "OK, Yoni...you can have dessert, but what would you like to eat for dessert?"

J: "Dessert!"

Mike: "Would you like a cookie? Ice cream? What would you like for dessert?"

J (now becoming increasingly frustrated at his parent's lack of understanding): "DESSERT!"

Mike: "Jonathan, 'Dessert' is a general term. There are all types of desserts. You need to be specific. Would you like chocolate, ice cream, a cookie...what would you like for dessert?"

J (now nearly in tears): "I want dessert, dadda. PLEASE!"

Mike: "Ok Yoni, I'm going to get you dessert." And he returns with a cookie. Jonathan almost bursts out crying...

J: "I NEED TWO desserts!"

Mike: "Two?! Ok...ok...no problem." And he breaks the cookie in half..."here you go."

And with that, Jonathan breaks out with a huge smile on his face and the whole dessert fiasco comes to an end.

Did I mention what I got for Valentine's Day (/5 yr anniv coming in June)? It's a good thing I have a job :) Thanks to the world's best hubby (and to Uncle Brian out in CA).

That's the funniest thing I think I've ever heard. You guys need 24hr videos to record this stuff.
