What's for dinner?

I gotta little story for you Ags (and all the other non-Aggies reading this)...

This incident took place a few nights ago and I hope that as I relive it for you here, you find it as funny as I did. Although, be prepared that it might be one of those "you would have had to be there" stories. Either way here it goes:

Justin came home from work and as he walked through the kitchen, he noticed that I had made pancakes for breakfast (Yes. I hadn't cleaned the pancake skillet yet.). Isaac was in the kitchen at the time and so Justin decided to make a big deal about us having pancakes without him. He said to Isaac in a very dramatic way, several times, "You had pancakes without me." To which I replied, "And we had homemade waffles yesterday." And Justin followed in the same fashion with, "You hade waffles without me." But then this time he added in hopes of drawing sympathy from us, "All I had was cereal...without milk."

After this fun little interaction, Justin left the kitchen, I started to get dinner ready, and Isaac stayed in the kitchen with me. I first pulled some chicken out of the freezer. And Isaac asked, "I have chicken?" I replied, "Yes." Then he asked, "Mommy have chicken?" And I replied, "Yes." Now in Isaac's normal line of questioning, he would have asked the same question until he had covered the entire family and confirmed that chicken was what we were all having for dinner. But this time he surprised me by his next line. He said while pointing emphatically at me with his finger (something he has started to do in the past month or so when he wants to emphasize something), "Daddy have cereal without milk!!" It was so funny. Like I said before you just had to be there. It is amazing what kids pick up and copy.

Cereal without milk? Like father, like son! That is what our dad had every morning on the way to work.
