Ya, she really said this

Monday - the first time in five days Izzy actually asks for food following the stomach bug. She tells me she wants Cheerios for breakfast. With milk. And a hot chocolate in a flowery cup. I negotiate for the Charlie and Lola cup, which is porcelein and so microwavable, unlike the flowery cups which are melamine and not. I ask if she would like yoghurt but she says no. Are there any bananas though? I tell her sadly not but we can get some for her later. After a pause in the conversation, as I'm reading my book and she watching TV, Izzy thoughtfully turns to me and says: 'Mummy, you're like a waitress.'
