Hibacha-cha

We're having dinner "wif da ninja chefs," as Emmie refers to the folks at any hibachi or sushi restaurant.

"Okay, do you want your rice dinner with chicken, shrimp, steak, or salmon?" I ask her.

"Um, mama? Can I hab sum octopus?"

"Yes, we just handed him our sushi order. Now we have to tell him which rice dinner you want: chicken, shrimp, steak, or salmon?"

"Um, when is our food goeend ta come?"

"When. We. Give. Them. Our. Order. Do you want chicken, shrimp, steak, or salmon?"

"Oh, I want rice."

(Sigh)

"Yes. It comes with rice. But what do you want WITH it?"

"Can I hab octopus?"

(Grrrrrr...)
