Cereal Disobedience

Last evening, with Alec's Dad out of town collecting an award for his good work at the office, Alec had a chance to put me straight about feeding time. Here's what he conveyed, in his own words:

1. That bib thing? Yeah - I don't need that.
2. The bowl with the food in it? Give that to me. I think I'll do a great job with it. I know I'll do a better job than you.
3. Thanks for the carrots. You took your sweet time handing them over but I sure enjoyed them once you did.
4. Call both sets of grandparents. Tell them that "the pigeon has landed". (I suspect this is code for something to do with a cookie.)
