Mind your manners

KDB: Can my have desert?
Daddy: You should say "Can I" not "Can my," and really it should be "May I." Can you say "May I?"
KDB: May my.
Daddy: No, "May I."
KDB: May mime.
Daddy: "May I"
KDB: May I'm.
Daddy: "May I"
KDB: May... aye.
Daddy: Good! Now ask properly.
KDB: Can my have may-eime?
(Mommy laughs aloud, which doesn't help the situation much)
Daddy: No, it's "May I have desert?"
KDB: Can my have desert?
(more laughing)
Daddy: "May I"
KDB: Can my
Daddy: "May I"
KDB: Can my
Daddy: No, now listen. "M-a-a-a-y... I..."
KDB: C-a-a-a-n... my...
Daddy: "May I have desert?"
KDB: Can my have... gummi bears?
(major outburst of laughter, including from daddy, who falls on the floor unable to control it at this point)
