At a restaurant a few weeks ago...
Me: Peanut, you want me to cut that hamburger in half for you? It'll be easier to eat that way.
Peanut (gazing off): Uh, no Mama, I'm good.
time passes...
Me: Honey, why don't you start eating. Would it be easier if I cut that hamburger in half for you?
Peanut (focusing on the burger for a sec): Nope, I'm fine. Thanks.
more time passes...
Me: If I cut that in half it'll be easier to eat.
Peanut, restructuring her disassembled burger: Okay, Mom, that'd be great.
Me: Really?! Okay! (I cut)
Peanut, looking me right in the eye: You feel better now, Mom?
Me: Huh? Oh...Yeah, I guess I do. Thanks for that.
