INTRO: The family is nearing the end of breakfast.
MARY, 1, has eaten all her food and thrown her plate on the floor.
HALLIE, the mommy, is picking up the plate and telling IZZY, 3, to finish eating.
JEFF, the daddy, is loading silverware, plates and juice bottles into the dish washer.
HALLIE: (Looks up and sees a pile of eggs still on IZZY'S plate) Izzy, eat your eggies!
IZZY: (Bites into a strawberry) Huh?
HALLIE: (Standing up, definitely annoyed) Hurry up and eat! You haven’t touched anything and you need to eat!
IZZY: Huh?
HALLIE: (Getting a little louder and more forceful) You heard me! You know exactly what I said! Don’t pretend you can’t hear me!
(Pause)
HALLIE: (Turns to Jeff who is still loading dishes) Daddy! Tell Izzy to eat her eggs! She she can’t eat just strawberries and yogurt for breakfast!
JEFF: (Looks up from the dishes) Huh?

That is SO not what happened, Mr. Exaggerator. *sigh*
It sounds like lots of fun times at the breakfast club. Wish I could have been there, but I was writing a paper that I hope was NOT full of non-sense.
