He has an answer for everything...

a conversation between Elijah and I...

Elijah: Mom, I'm hungry
Me: Would you like a banana, or some of this marinated mozarella with crackers?
Elijah:  What's the cheese?
Me: Mozarella with sun dried tomatoes, peppers, and olive oil.
Elijah:  YUCK!
*30 seconds of silence*
Elijah: Okay, I'll taste the cheese.
*I give him a piece on a cracker*
Elijah: YUCK! 
Me: Say "no thank you", please
Elijah: NO THANK YOU!  YUCK!
Me: So do you want a banana?
Elijah: I like the cheese.
Me: Do you want the cheese with some crackers?
Elijah: No... how about some spinach dip?
Me: Okay.

*2 minutes pass*

Elijah: Mom, I'm thirsty.  What can I have?
Me: I'll get you some water.
Elijah:  What about milk?  Can I have milk?  (he doesn't like milk)
Me: Do you want milk?
Elijah: No, you know I don't like milk.  I want water.
Me: Okay.  (getting him water)
Elijah: ICE WATER
Me: There is no ice.  This water is cold.
Elijah: Not cold enough.  Can you make some ice?
Me: No, there is no room in the freezer for me to make ice right now.
Elijah: Can't you make some room?
Me: No honey, there is too much food in the freezer.
Elijah: So take some food out.
Me: No, because then it will go bad.
Elijah: Well, can you get an ice chest and go to the store and put ice in it and keep the food good that way?  Then there will be room to make some ice.
Me:  *dies of exhaustion*
