Everything they tell you about toddlers is true

I find some Cheerios sitting on the counter in a cup.
Me: "Eli, would you like some Cheerios?"
Eli: "Yeah."
Me: "OK, here's some Cheerios in a cup."
Eli: "In a bowl. Cheerios in a bowl."
Me: "Fine, I'll put them in a bowl." [takes out bowl]
Eli: "In the green bowl."
Me: "Whatever. Here, I'll put them in the green bowl." [dumps Cheerios from cup into green bowl]
Eli [incensed because I merely transferred the Cheerios rather than pouring new ones]: "No, different Cheerios! Different Cheerios!"  
[Looks in bowl] "I don't like raisins!"
Me: "OK, then don't eat them."
[pause]
Eli: "I eat the raisin!"
[Gobbles up raisin triumphantly, then spits it back into the bowl]
