Milk

Setup: Dad (Richard) is in the kitchen, and Aunt Muriel and Aunt Sharon are with Mom in the living room. Dad has just finished giving Mom some juice...

Muriel: Richard, Karin says she wants some milk.

Dad: What?

Muriel: She wants some milk.

Dad: She doesn't drink milk. She never has.

Muriel: I know, but she wants some.

Dad: (ponders) Okay.

He gets it ready and gives her a sip. Half way through the next one she closes her mouth tight - no more.

Mom mumbles.

Dad puts his ear next to her mouth and says "What's that, honey?"

Mom: I wanted chocolate milk.
