sorry, but no
ernestine: melilot! melilot! melilot! melilot!
so i went over there.
me: yes, ernestine?
ernestine: pick the carrots out of my stew and put them on my plate. [so she could eat them]
me: you just want the carrots?
ernestine: yes. pick them out for me.
me: why don't i get you a bowl of carrots?
ernestine: no. pick these out.
me: i can get you a bowl of carrots.
ernestine: no! i don't want those! get these for me!
me: you don't want me to get some carrots for you?
ernestine: no! just pick these out!
me: no. i'm not picking out the carrots.
and i walked away, leaving a very crabby ernestine, and a very amused maureen.

poor ernestine
but way to hold your own, melilot! :)
Well, good for you. But maybe she likes stew carrots better than regular carrots? I like cereal milk better than regular milk...
cereal milk is sweeter. And fishing in someone else's soup is nasty.
