Sary, Sary, Quite Contrary

Conversation with Sarah:

Sarah:  Mom, what should I have for dessert: chocolate or a tootsie roll?
Me:  Whatever you want.
Sarah: You choose.
Me:  You have to choose for yourself.  I don't know what you want.
Sarah: I want you to choose.
Me: Chocolate.
Sarah: But the tootsie roll will last longer.
Me: Tootsie roll then.
Sarah: Which one? You have to choose.
Me: Tootsie roll.
Sarah: But the chocolate is bigger.
Me: How about neither?
Sarah: No, you pick.
Me: Chocolate.
She ate the tootsie roll.  It's been this way ever since she could talk.  I choose not to be bothered by it anymore.
