Me Like Cornflakes

Me Like Cornflakes

3-year-old Albert was having breakfast with his dad one morning.
Munching enjoyably he announced: me like cornflakes!

Dad corrected his grammar replying,
no, “I” like cornflakes.

Albert furrowed his brow, stopped chewing, and said no, “ME” like cornflakes.
Once again, dad tried to correct the grammar, no, “I” like cornflakes.

This competition went on a few
more rounds.

Suddenly Albert had an idea. His smile brimmed from ear to ear.
Announcing his momentous discovery, he proclaimed: we both like cornflakes!
