An After-Dinner Discussion

This is a fairly faithful transcription of an evening in the Wendt house. Please forgive any repetition, just understand that there is a four year old involved.

(Heather wants me to point out that we don't do this every night.)

Mom: Here's your cookie. Please go sit in your chair.

John: Thanks, Mom.

Mom: You're welcome, John. Thanks for eating your carrots.

John: Thanks, Mom.

Mom: You're welcome, John. Thanks for eating your meat.

John: Thanks, Mom.

Mom: You're welcome, John. Thanks for eating your noodles.

John: Thanks, Mom.

Mom: You're welcome, John. Thanks for ....

John: No! Stop saying "You're welcome"!

Mom: Well, stop saying "Thanks, Mom".

John: OK.

....

John: Thanks, Mom.

Mom: You're welcome, John.

John: Thanks, Mom.

Mom: You're welcome, John.

....

Mom: Thanks, John.

John: You're welcome, Mom.

Mom: Thanks, John.

John: You're welcome, Mom.

....

John: Thanks, Mom.

Mom: You're welcome, Daddy.

John: My name's not "Daddy"!?!

Mom: I thought Daddy might want to join our game instead of typing.

John: Do you want to play, Daddy?

Dad: I'm trying to type what you guys are saying.

The End
