Please pass the cheese

An exchange between Hen and me as I was preparing his snack earlier today.

Hen: Mama, can I have some cheese, please?

Me, opening fridge to accommodate request: Sure.

Hen, somewhat dubious: What kind of cheese is that?

Me: Cheddar. It's the yummiest cheese. Seriously, it's so good.

Hen: <pause> <blink> <pause> I want some parmesan.

Me, calculating the cost difference between the imported Parmigiano-Reggiano vs. the Tillamook while opening the fridge to put back the cheddar and grab the parmesan: <blink> <pause> <shrug> Okay.

Gotta reward good taste. At least part way.
