One Ruffle Please!

Madeline:  Can I have a ruffle mommy?

Mommy:  A ruffle?  Do you mean like a lace or fabric ruffle that you put on clothes?

Madeline:  No mommy.  Can I eat a ruffle for breakfast?

Mommy:  (completely puzzled)  A ruffle?

Madeline:  (as if talking to a foreigner) Yes . . . a r-u-f-f-l-e.

Mommy:  Are you talking about a ruffled potato chip?  Like the vegetable chips we have in the pantry?

Madeline:  (laughing)  No mommy!  A chocolate chip ruffle-- you know, with syrup.

Mommy:  Ohhhhhhh!  A waffle!



Mystery solved.

Sweet Madeline. She and Braewyn are a pair. Braewyn will ask if I know where her crowns are. I know she means crayons. Not as funny as ruffle but still a weird pronunciation.
