Just remembered this one. It seems like it happened a long time ago, so it was probably last week.
We're having books before bed. The details are hazy, but there was a character handing something out, I think ice cream. We started asking Fuss who got ice cream , The Wife and I alternating questions, and it went something like this. The further down the line we got, the more extravagantly emphatic Fuss' delivery became, gesticulating wildly and throwing blankets around, until the penultimate question.
does Dada get ice cream?
NO! Dada doesn't get ice cream!
does Mama get ice cream?
NO! Mama doesn't get ice cream!
does Devra get ice cream?
NO! Devra doesn't get ice cream!
what about Meek, does Meek get ice cream?
NO! Meek doesn't get the ice cream!
does Auntie Burl get ice cream?
NO! Auntie Burl doesn't get ice cream!!
does Uncle Timmy get ice cream?
NO! No ice cream for Uncle Timmy!!!
Does Daphne get ice cream?
Silence, then in a small voice
Yes....Daphne gets a ice cream.
Followed by a nod of the head.
