Breakfast discussions with the Wilkes: Mona: Mommy, may I please have strawberry oatmeal for breakfast? Charlie: I WANT STRAWBERRY TOOOOOOO. Mommy: Well shoot, theres only one strawberry packet left. And since Mona is the Family Member of the Week, she gets to have it. Charlie: (smashes head on table) WAAAAHHHHHHHH Mona: CHARLIE. You were the Family Member of the Week LAST WEEK. And you got the last blueberry packet and you picked hamburgers for dinner and you picked the bedtime stories. Its my turn. Charlie: BUT (sob) I (sob) YOU (sob) WHY ARE YOU IT DIS WEEK MONAAAAAA (sobsobsob) Mommy: Shes graduating from kindergarten this week, Chuck. Its her special week.
