The way to a man's heart....

Our conversation over dinner this evening:

Ewan: What can I have now? (This is the recurrent question the second he finishes his last bite of food)

Me: Wait until we have all finished (Our predictable answer, repeated multiple times throughout every meal)

Ewan: Mummy, be happy

Me: I am happy sweetie, I just have a bit of a sore tummy. Are you happy?

Ewan: Yes

Me: Why are you happy?

Ewan: Because I'm going to have something

Me: Well, what is it that makes you happy

Ewan: mmmm, food I think

(Uncontrollable laughter from me and Karl)

Me: What else makes you happy

Ewan: Bananas, that's all I got (rather impatiently). What can I have now?

Me: Well, are there any people that make you happy?

Ewan: No

Me: Are there any places that make you happy?

Ewan: No

Me: (getting desperate) Does Daddy make you happy?

Ewan: Yes

Me: (relieved, and hoping that I will make the list) Who else makes you happy?

Ewan: Maybe Elliott

What can I say.
