Schmack time

I’m sitting on the couch with Finn and Gray. Finn’s into his television show. It’s almost bedtime.

Gray starts muttering one of her incoherent requests…

Gray: I want schmack.

I can’t understand her and I ignore her.

She’s relentless.

Gray: Schmack, Daddy!

Me: What do you want, Gray?

I’ve acknowledged her, but it appears to have angered her.

Gray: Schmack!

Me: I can’t understand what you’re saying. What do you want?

Gray: Schmack, smack, szmaaak!

Me: I’m sorry, sissy. I don’t know what you’re saying.

Gray: SCHMAAAAAAAACK!!!

Me: Finn, do you have any idea what she’s talking about?

He doesn’t break eye contact with the television as he casually answers.

Finn: She wants a snack. I’d like one, too. Goldfish, please.

Me: Buddy, if you knew what she was saying, why didn’t you tell me that earlier?

He’s back into his show and ignores me.

Gray: Daddy! Schmack!!!
