Me: Lucy, would like milk on your cereal this morning?
Lucy: Mom, when I have milk on my cereal and I talk too much, my cereal gets soggy. So I'm not going to have milk on my cereal.
Perfect solution.
She can't stop talking.
[Further update/detail]
A comment (below) from Uncle Kanga reminds me that I should also mention that among the many lies I have told Lucy is the claim that we can't buy Lucky Charms (or any other sugar-laden cereal such as Cap'n Crunch); only Grandma and her school can purchase such things. She really and truly believes this; when we see said boxes of cereal at the store, she points and talks about how we can't buy them. Only her school. And Grandma (who buys them in the whole multi-pack set of mini boxes for her as a treat). There is a future (long) post to be written at some point about the many, many lies that we have told Lucy, and her predisposition to believe these things.
So the cereal in question above was Cheerios. She then went to school, where she had a bowl of Lucky Charms. So no worries, fans of Lucy, she is getting her US Recommended Daily Allowance of kid cereal.

I wonder if Lucy's mother is preventing her from having Cap'n Crunch. That'll take care of the soggies right away!
