My Favorite Customer

While I was doing laundry this evening after dinner, Lily came into the laundry room and sat at the little table in there. We started playing restaurant. Here's how the conversation went:

L: Cooker? (That's her way of saying chef)
M: Yes?
L: I would like to order dinner.
M: Okay, what would you like to have tonight?
L: Well, I need to see a menu first please.
M: Okay, here you go (pretend to put a menu on the table).
L: Thank you. (Looks over the menu for a few seconds). Okay, I would like a hamburger with pie and ham and cheese and tomatoes and macaroni and your favorite, key lime, on it. Please.
M: Wow, that sounds delicious.
L: Yes. Oh and cooker? I need some grass for my dog. His name is Spike the Bulldog (FYI, that's Samford's mascot), and he needs to eat too. Please bring him some grass.
M: Will do. It will take just a minute to get it cooked and all together. (Pause while I fold socks for a minute; Lily patiently waits). Okay, here you go. One plate of grass for Spike and one hamburger with pie and ham and cheese and tomatoes and key lime on it.
L: You forgot the macaroni!
M: Oh, I am so sorry. I just forgot to say it, but I made sure to put the macaroni on it.
L: That's silly! It wouldn't be good without the macaroni on it!

A few minutes later, she convinced Ryan to come in with her and also be a customer. They sat down, perused the menu for a moment and then we had this conversation:
M: What can I get for you customers?
R: I would like spaghetti and garlic bread.
L: I would like spaghetti with pasta and ravioli.
M: You got it. It'll be up in just a moment. (Pause and then hand them the food. Ryan begins to pretend to eat with his fingers).
L: Cooker, you forgot the forks!
M: Oh you're right! Here you go.
L: Thank you. (They both eat with their pretend forks). Can I have deserk now (deserk is Lily's way of saying dessert)?
M: Sure you can.
L: Okay. Can I have those cookies (points to the cookies on the pantry shelf! She totally got me! Everything else up to this point had been pretend...did she plan that from the beginning?!)?
M: Let me see if we have any already open. (I go to the kitchen and grab the box of fruit snacks). Unfortunately, we do not have any cookies open and we are going to take that box to the beach with us. However, I brought you a selection of fruit snacks.
L: Yea! Let me pick which one I want. I want Tropical (dried pineapple, mango and papaya). Yea, I got Tropical!

She cracks me up!
