Gert: Daddy, can I have more noodles?
Daddy: Eat your meat and corn and then you can have more noodles.
Gert: I don't like corn. It makes me gag.
Daddy: You like corn! You ate a whole bunch the other night.
Gert: I only like it on the cob. Corn off the cob makes me gag.
Daddy: Well, you still need to eat some of it. Then you can have more noodles.
Gert: But it makes me gag.
Daddy: Honey, it's healthy. Please eat it.
And so, Gert eats her meat and then starts on the corn. Lo, at that point, the gag reflex engaged.
Gert: Blork.
Daddy: Oh honey, you gagged and puked on your plate!
Gert: Duh. I told you that corn off the cob make me gag!
Daddy: I'm sorry honey. Why don't you go get a brownie.
Later that evening, after we all relaxed I had this conversation with my wife.
Wife: When we go shopping tomorrow Matilda and I need a few minutes to go pick something out.
Daddy: What?
Wife: Don't worry about it.
Daddy: Does she need new shoes for the vacation?
Wife: Don't worry about it.
Daddy: But now I'm curious. Shorts? Swim suit?
Wife: A bra! She needs a bra!
Daddy: Blork.
