Conversations with Ben - Memorial Day Edition

This conversation took place at the dinner table on Memorial Day. We were having an indoor hotdog "cook out."  It's just too flipping hot out by the end of May to grill outside in central Texas.  Ben is not one for any kind of animal product but certainly found *these* hot dogs to be tasty.  Then the corn-on-the-cob was brought out.

Ben:  Mommy, I want some corn.
Me: You have to finish your hot dog first.
Ben: I don't want anymore hot dog. I want corn.
Me: Finish half your hot dog and then we'll talk about corn.
*A good 15 minutes passes and Ben is slowly but surely finishing the agreed upon half of hot dog.*
Ben: I'm done with my hot dog. Can we talk about corn now, Mommy?

Hilarity ensues!
