SCENE 1
Setting: Corner booth of a diner, Zoe in a high chair at the end of the table.
Daddy: Are you hungry?
Zoe: Yes.
Daddy: What would you like to eat?
Zoe: Wice.
Daddy: I don't know if they have rice here, baby.
Zoe: Wice!
Daddy: How about some chicken nuggets? Or maybe cottage cheese?
Zoe: Wice! Wice! Wice!
Daddy: Can you say please?
Zoe: Pweeeeeeeeeeezze.
Just then, Daddy's eyes come across the heading "Chicken stir-fry." And there, at the end of the description, are the magic words, "served on a bed of rice."
SCENE 2
Setting: Waitress comes over, greets Zoe with a gentle tickle of her tummy and says...
Waitress: Have you two decided?
Daddy: She says she wants rice. I noticed the stir fry is served on rice... any chance I can just get a side order?
Zoe: Wice!
Waitress: Sorry, we don't offer rice as a side dish.
Daddy: Oh, really?
Zoe: Wice! Wice! WICE!
Daddy: Zoe, shhhh. (He turns to waitress with pathetic look on face.) There's nothing you can do?
Zoe: Wice! Wice! WICE!
Waitress: I can check for you. I'm sure it's OK, I just wouldn't know what to charge you.
Zoe: Wice! Wice! WICE!
Daddy: Zoe, shhhh. (He turns back to waitress, more pathetic than before.) Whatever you need to do... you can charge me for the stir fry and just hold everything but the rice if you want.
Zoe: Wice! Wice! Wice!
Waitress: I'm sure we can figure something out.
Daddy: Great. Thanks.
THE END.

did you have to nudge Zoe under the table, or did she provide the comedic timing on her own?
That is too funny. I wish I was (were) there.
Busia stocked up on wice for Zoe's visit next weekend. I have wice with peas and wice with green beans. I have plain wice and I have seasoned wice. I have Dirty wice and clean wice. I have it all.
did Zoe's Busia have a stroke? She sure talks funny.
No wonder I couldn't find "wice" at any grocery store in Bay City - Busia bought it all!! :) Next time give us a heads up before you plan a visit so we can stock up!
