my child is weirder than yours

tonight as i was cutting up mushrooms for dinner, critter came up to me, and we had the following conversation.

i want a jeyee beenee. i want *frowny face as he tries very hard to hold up 2 fingers* two jeyee beenee. a byak one, and a byak one.

really? how nice for you.

*shock, then understanding* pyees?

there! see thats the word mummy needs to get you something! but i'm going to give you a red one and a black one, ok?

no! a byak one and a byak one!!

red or nothing *hands him the jelly beans*

*sulky face, but he ate them anyway*


how many children (or people in general, for that matter) WANT the black jelly beans, and nothing but the black jelly beans?

he loves broccoli too.
