Me: Girls, what would you like for breakfast?
Norah: Plain green peas, steamed broccoli, and do we have any cauliflower? Oh, mama, can I please, please, please, have an orange??
Me: Of course! Cedar, what would you like?
Cedar: Nandy.
Me: We don’t eat candy for breakfast. I’ll make you a cheesy egg.
Cedar (screaming, snorting, stomping, and maybe spitting): Nandy! Nandy! Nandy!
Why are children so different?
Nandy, ha ha! For Ivey it’s “canny.” But luckily she is fond of a banana in the morning.
