From Saturday night Israel's been begging for ice cream, I explained why the my answer was no. On Sunday we asked again and this time I said yes because it was a really hot day and he graciously accepted "no" the night before but I had one stipulation, he had to eat ALL of his dinner before he could eat some ice cream...
Me: Time for your dinner Israel.
Israel: What is it?
Me: Chicken and rice.
Israel: Is it the way I like it?
Me: Yes.
Israel: Is it the brown chicken with the white rice just the way I like it?
Me: I said yes.
Israel: Ok *looks at his bowl* I don't like it.
Me: What? But it's just the way you like it.
Israel: Ahhh but I don't want it, may I have something else to eat please?
Me: No, there's nothing else for you to eat right now.
Israel: I don't want to eat this.
Me: Ok, that's your choice, so no ice cream for you tonight. I'll just buy it so me and Aaron can eat it alone.
Israel: Nooooooo! I want ice cream!
Me: So eat your dinner so we can eat ice cream after.
Israel: Ahhh can I eat 20 spoons?
Me: 100
Israel: That's too much, 20
Me: 50
Israel: 20
Me: 30
Israel: 20
Me: 100
Israel: *pauses* can I eat 38 spoons?
Me: lol Ok, 38 spoons.
PS. This kid practically eat the whole bowl of food then had 2 servings of Cherry Chocolate Chip ice creams LOL
