If I served you roast chicken, stuffing, mashed potato, peas, carrots and gravy, would you:
(a) polish off the lot, and say thank you;
(b) eat a fair amount, and mumble something about being stuffed; or
(c) segregate the carrots from everything else, flick half the peas across the table, decide you don't like stuffing without trying it, eat three pieces of chicken under slight duress, and finger-paint with the gravy?
After that, if I served you lemon surprise pudding with cream, would you:
(a) polish off the lot, and say thank you;
(b) politely decline, having eaten quite a lot of chicken etc; or
(c) use the cream to 'wash' your hands.
And finally, does anyone want an extra nearly-three-year-old? Rather cute in appearance, knows all her colours, can count to ten and sing Five Little Ducks. EATS NOTHING.
(a) oh, okay then, what's one extra?
(b) no thank you, I already have one just like that; or
(c) no. Just no.
(Before anyone says anything, she was getting pudding after a crap performance at main course because it's full of egg as well as sugar, and I can't remember the last time she ate any protein)
