Brown Cheese

Clara had gone into the kitchen while Todd was making dinner and grabbed on his leg looking for food. He gave her a piece of the percorino romano cheese he had been grating which she immediately put it in her mouth before sitting herself on her mother's lap. 

We sat there amazed as she chewed the piece smaller and smaller. She must have been channeling her Sicilian great grandmother because after Katie took it away Clara began "I like the brown cheese" a few times, then "I want the brown cheese" repeatedly, then it was plaintively "I need the brown cheese" and then she stood up in her chair and with clenched fists started yelling "give me the brown cheese".  She did her "I need brown cheese" chant several times over the next few days.
