want some tea?

Life is full or routine questions and often repeated statements. We don't even notice them, but Elijah does, and sometimes surprises us with an imitation. For example, almost every morning I ask Ryan, "Ryan, do you want some tea?" The answer is always yes, so I am not sure why I even ask.

The other day Elijah pulled out his toy tea cups, loaded them with corresponding color balls, and said, "Waya, wan' some tea?" Ryan doesn't really like being addressed as "Ryan" by his son, so he ignores the question for the first 10 times or so. Finally, when it doesn't seem to work, he goes up to Elijah, crouches down next to him, and says, "Elijah, who am I?"
Elijah: "My Daddy!!!"
Ryan: "That's right!"
Elijah (without skipping a beat): "Waya, wan' some tea?"
