Bedtime. KO watching Phineas & Ferb. I sit down by him and take a bite of a carrot.
KO (still watching his show, speaking in a langorous, imperial manner): I don’t like that crunching sound.
Me: Oh. Sorry.
KO: Just eat it at the end of the show.
(long pause while KO waits for me to agree; I say nothing)
KO: Because then I will be asleep.
(another long pause)
KO: And then I won’t have to not like the sound of crunching any more.
Me: Okay.
(KO continues watching his show, apparently satisfied.)
