Juice

"Can you put me some more juice please daddy?"
"Phoebe, in English we don't say it like that. Can you think how we say it?"
"Can you put me some more juice please daddy?"
"Can you..."
"Can you put me some more juice please daddy?"
"Not 'put'..."
"More juice please daddy."
"Give..."
"Can you put me some more juice please daddy?"
"Can you give me some more juice."
"Can you give me some more juice please daddy?"
"No, darling, you've had enough."

As you can see, we aim to be firm but fair here at the Athens branch of Bumble's Workhouse. It's dog-eat-dog out there, the world doesn't owe them any favours, there's no such thing as a free lunch, one man's meat is another man's poison, what's sauce for the goose, etc etc. [Keels over, frothing slightly at the mouth...]
