Weel Cheese

Sebastian was checking out our fridge to scope out the breakfast possibilities.  He closed the door,  walked the the table very matter-of-factly and declared: 

"Mom, I need weel cheese."

Okay, so the kid has a bit of a three-year-old boy speech impediment.  It's been especially endearing during the holidays, as Fwosty and Wudolph have been in rotation, and I hope I get to hear this little voice for a LONG time.  Then I have moments like this...

"Mom, I need weel cheese."
"Real cheese?"
"No, weel cheese."
"Wheel cheese?"
"NO! I need weel cheese like WEEL cheese like CHEESE that is WEEL because it is WEEL and the WEEL cheese is in the fridge!"
"This cheese?"
"Ugh... I guess I'll have ceweal instead."

One day, when he's a gourmet chef, I'll visit his five star restaurant and he'll turn to me and say, in a slightly British accent cultivated from years of culinary study abroad,  "Mom?  Remember that time I was trying to guide you to a more substantial breakfast?  Well, THIS is WEEL cheese."
