Short-order cook

Evie's on the floor watching Yo Gabba Gabba.
I walk in dancing to the song.

[finger pointing beyond me], "Mahlk."

me: "Mahlk?"

Evie: "Mahlk." (still pointing and now furrowing brow).

me: "What? What 'mahlk'?"

Evie: "Mahlk." (growing stern).

me: "milk?"

Evie: "ok!"

I deliver the milk and ask for a 'thank-you.' I just got an affirmation as if I had finally begun to learn my first words correctly, "mahlk."

*sigh*, at least this beats her pulling on the fridge handle screaming since she refused to even try and say 'milk' at all. This is an improvement, right? [awkward laugh]
