How Do I Love Thee?

Conversation between my sister Carla, and my son Ben, the day after Christmas:

Ben:  "Mom, this fruit salad (ambrosia) is delicious!"

Me:  "I know Ben, it's always been your favorite food."

Carla:  "Ben, do you love fruit salad more, or pie?"

Ben:  "FRUIT SALAD!"

Carla:  "Do you love fruit salad more, or homework?"

Ben:  "Auntie Carla, of course I love fruit salad more!"

Carla:  "Do you love fruit salad more, or Uncle Leo?"

Ben (thinking hard):  "I love them the same."

Carla:  "Do you love fruit salad more, or . . . "

Ben:  "Auntie Carla, PLEASE do not make me choose between fruit salad and PIZZA!"


So, Uncle Leo, I guess that tells you where you rate on the food chain.  Literally.
