Charley 1, Mom 0

Charley: "Mom, can I have some more chips now?"

Danielle: "No, I'm sorry but you need to eat the rest of your dinner before you can have more chips."

Charley: "But Mooommmm, I already ate my dinner!!! I ate my chips."

Danielle: "You need to eat the other part of your dinner, the enchilada."

Charley: "But Mooommm, I already had some enchilada!!!"

Danielle: "I know you ate one bite of enchilada, but you need to eat ALL your enchilada. Look at Zander's plate . . . ." (we all glance at Zander's empty plate) . . . . "When your plate looks like Zander's plate, you can have some more chips."

Charley: (thinking about this for a moment) "Oh yeah, a ROUND plate, and mine is round too . . . so YEEEAAAA, I can have some more chips!!!"

Brian: (nods and shoots Danielle the "I think she has you on that one" look)

Seriously, is there any doubt that Charley has a future as a lawyer?
