Mmmm, mmmm

At dinner one evening, Madeline spent half an hour peeling the crust off her dinner roll. She refused to eat the lasagna.

"Here let me help you," Elise said, reaching over to snatch Madeline's roll.

We adults watched her rip off a piece of bread and dunk it gleefully in her cup of water. "Mmm, mmmm!" She swallowed the soggy piece. "That was so good. You should try some Madeline."

"No," Madeline replied.

So Elise tore off another piece and dunked it in her water again. She held the dripping bread in her palm and poked it with her free hand. "It's as soft as a lamb's wool," she said, and gobbled it down happily.
