Steph: What would you like for breakfast, Luke?
Luke: I want Special K, please.
Vivi: Want Special Cake too!
Luke (in an irritated voice): It's not Special Cake, Sylvie, it's Special K.
Vivi (starting to cry angrily): Is Special Cake, is Special Cake!
Luke (getting angry too): Is not!
Vivi (in a tremendous hideous screech): IS TOOOOOOOOOOO!
Luke (jumps, then, beginning to weep tears of rage): IS NOT!
Vivi (shrieking and wailing): ISSSSS TOOOOOO! IS TOOOO SPECIAL CAKE!!
Luke (enraged and sobbing): IT'S NOT SPECIAL CAKE! IT'S NOT CAKE! IT'S CEREAL!
Vivi responds in kind until both children are heaving and writhing on the floor.
Wow this could be a scene from my house last night, if you replaced cereal with cookies and ice cream.
