“What do you want for lunch?” I asked Xavier.
It was just him (4 years), myself, and Tevye (5 months) at home. The other kids were either at school or who knows where. Before taking him to pre-school in the afternoons Xavier has lunch at home. I almost always ask him what he wants, but it is almost always the same. Juice, a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, and some fruit.
Today to save time I had the juice poured and sandwich made. All I needed was for him to pick his fruit. He didn’t know I had already done the prep work.
“I don’t want a peanut butter jelly sandwich,” he replied.
“Okay, then what do you want?”
“Fine, I’ll have a peanut butter jelly sandwich.”
