At Kmart, shopping for a new bike helmet for Owen:
"Mommy?"
Yes Owen?
I just saw one of those big boxes of cheese balls.
Oh?
[minutes pass, shopping continues]
Mommy?
Yes?
I really love cheese balls. They are so yummy.
Mmm. Yep, sometimes they can be tasty!
[minutes pass]
Mommy?
Yes Owen!
Do you fink you might be able to buy us that big box of cheese balls, maybe? We all really like dem. It would be really nice to have dem.
Owen, you asked me very, very nicely and I like to get special presents for my favorite boys in the whole world, so even though we can't get treats every time we go shopping, yes, I am going to buy them for you today. Keep your eyes peeled and when we pass them again remind me to pick one up.
4-year old BLISS!!!
In the car on the way home, after distributing a handful of cheeseballs as an appetizer for dinner (indulgent mommy, let's face it)...
Mommy, cheese balls taste so good! Aren't you so glad that you bought them?
Well, they're OK, but this isn't the best brand I've ever had. I think these are a little too salty.
Oh no mommy, I think these are a de-LICIOUS kind of cheese balls. They are so, so tasty.
[Asher saying 'deeee BOLL! deeee BOLL! Mo' Mo' Mo'!]
Mommy, I have an idea. Listen to this! Sometime we should go to the cheese ball orchard and then we can go pick TONS of cheese balls off of the trees! That would be great!
I'm pretty sure cheese balls don't grow on trees. They are made in a factory.
Does GRANDPA work in the CHEESE BALL FACTORY??!
No honey, he worked in a tire factory. He made sure that the factory was always working so that the workers could make tires for cars and tractors.
[disappointed] Oh.
Are cheese balls healthy food?
Not so much. They're junky food, just good for a special treat every now and then.
Oh. I sure love junky food!

Owen definitely saw those cheese balls when I took him to Kmart, also! But he didn't ask for them. No doubt they are put at a child's eye level for a reason!
Awesome! And I am impressed he asked so nicely. You must be doing something right!
Deeee boll, deeee boll mo mo mo. :)
My favorite part.
