Eitan comes back from the snack bar.
Me: “What did you get?”
Eitan: “A 'Choco-Taco.'”
Me: “What's that?”
Eitan: “Um, dad, it's a chocolate taco.”
Me:
Eitan: “I love the creamy chocolaty bit. Every one is in the mood for it.”
Me: “If you're a kid....”
Eitan fondles his 'Choco-Taco,' takes bite, rolls eyes back into head.

Sonnet gets the kids a “mix-pack” of various cereals.
Me: "What's your favorite?"
Madeleine: "Frosted Flakes and Fruity Loops ."
Me: "Do you eat those first?"
Madeleine: "I save the best for last. And by the way they're not my favorite cereal."
Me: "What is your favorite cereal?"
Madeleine ponders this for a moment.
Eitan: "Cocoa Rocks? Sugar Pops? Captain Crunch?"
Me: "What's yours?"
Eitan: "Cookie Crisp which are chocolate chip cookies."
Me: "Your mother lets you eat those?"
Eitan. "No, you do."
Me: "Really? Like, when?"
Eitan: "When we were in Cuchara."
