let them eat cake…

just not for breakfast ... said mother.

Max: (in his serious… i’m trying to be mean voice), “Mom… I want cake for breakfast.”
Mom: I don’t think that’s a very good idea. Do we eat cake for breakfast? (ok – secretly I wanted to eat cake for breakfast too)
Max: No.
Mom: What do we eat for breakfast?
Max: I call dad and ask to eat cake for breakfast?
Mom: Okay. Call dad.

Max: Dad, I eat cake for breakfast?
Dad: I don’t think that’s a very good idea. What did mom say?
Max: NO!
Dad: Maybe you could eat waffles for breakfast. Or Cinnamon Toast.
Max: Cinnamon Toast? Okay.

Max: (with a grouchy look on his face) Dad said no I could eat no cake for breakfast. You said no I could eat no cake for breakfast.

despite the drama he enjoyed his cinnamon toast and warm chocolate for breakfast.
