Persistence (aka One Track Mind)
Scene: Walking on Walnut Street. Avery, and Avery's Mom and Dad
Mom: Avery, what do you want for lunch?
Avery: Macaroni.
Mom: Ok, we'll go home and make macaroni.
Avery: Macaroni.
Mom: OK, Boo. Oh, look at the car, Avery!
Avery: Macaroni.
Dad: We're almost home.
Avery: Macaroni.
Mom: Ok, we're close.
Avery: Macaroni
Dad: Avery, what else can you say?
Avery: Macaroni.
Brief period of silence.
Avery: Macaroni, macaroni, macaroni, macaroni, macaroni, macaroni.
...the entire rest of the way home. He was very calm and patient. He just really wanted macaroni.
Oh, and mark the date. Avery asked for an ate uncooked broccoli today. Maybe it's not that he doesn't like vegetables, just that we gave up trying too early.
