Me: Please finish your sandwich.
Nick: Why?
Me: Well, you want to grow big and strong, don't you? And to grow big and strong, you have to have enough food in your belly. It has something to do with caloric intake and (I went on and on here).
Nick: Oh! Right! *eats sandwich*
So. How long until this passes?
