The scene: The dining room, where a cake is cooling. FF, having helped bake the cake, has recently discovered that it is no longer hot, and is inspecting it closely. I am focused on removing the seeds from a pomegranate.
FF: What's that?
Me: A pecan, like you ate before.
FF: No, that.
Me (not looking up): Oh, a chocolate chip?
FF: Yeah, chocolate.
(silence)
Me (with sudden realization): FF, do not bite the cake, do not touch the cake, do not eat the cake. Do you understand?
FF (with righteous indignation): I just licking!
Me (alarmed, but still not looking up): Just looking??? With your eyes?
FF (scornfully) : No, licking!
