Mom: Petey, I got something new for your lunch! Petey: No. Mom: They're called Yummy Wads. Why "No"? Petey: Look on the box. Petey: It's got one of those insanely happy advertising people. Petey: Anything that causes such mindless glee is something best avoided. Alice: I can do that! See!

“Yummy Wads”?Madeline should know better. Peter would reject them for their NAME before he would consider the packaging.

Never combine the words “Petey” and “new” in the same sentence.

He said “no” before he heard the name or saw the box. I think she lost him at “something new.”

I had my nieces for the past week. It was excruciating. One was balking at a hamburger we made just for her (the others don’t like hamburgers; she doesn’t like hot dogs) because we didn’t buy a package of buns for her one hamburger but gave it to her on bread (white, all she’ll eat). She ended up eating it plain. Mom: “We always give it to her on bread!” Her aunt lets her get away with it.
