OK, this one is pure torture to me. The kid and I are coming home after shopping at Walmart and Sam’s Club. It’s a 20 minute drive home. I decided to buy some cheese for the kid and a bag of Ruffles for me.
The Kid: Daddy, hungry.
Me: What do you want?
The Kid: Daddy, hungry.
Me: Do you want some cheese?
The Kid: No…Daddy, HUNGRY!!!
Me: What would you like?
The Kid: Mey Mey!
Me: What is Mey Mey?
The Kid: Mey Mey. Daddy hungry (very high pitch scream).
Me: Do you want chips?
The Kid: Nooooo! (even higher pitch scream)
Me: Do you want Chicken McNuggets?
The Kid: Yeah!
Me: Thank God.
Pulled off freeway.
Two Minutes Later
The Kid: Daddy Hungry.
Me: I know we’re almost there. Chicken Nuggets.
The Kid: Nooooo!!!! Mey Mey!
Me: What? What the *(&#! Do you want?
The Kid: Mey Mey
Me: Cheese.
The Kid: No
Me: Chips
The Kid: No
Me: Banana
The Kid: No
Me: Crackers
The Kid: No
