D: Taste that cheese – it’s not our cheese.

D: Yeah – and houses would be the same, and clothes would be the same, and hairstyles would be the same, and friends would be the same, and everyone would have the same name, and coloured pens would be the same.
Me: How boring would that be – to only have one colour for drawing pictures with?
D: Yes… I don’t want this cucumber. I don’t like it – it’s different.
