Creativity exercise.

MJ, weeping:  The boys say I need a name for our game but I can't think of one!

Me:  Can I help you think of a name?

MJ (sniffles):  Okay, but it has to rhyme with "black."

Me:  Um, Jack?

MJ:  NO!  It has to have black IN it!

Me:  Black-patch the Pirate Princess?

MJ (exasperated):  NO! It  has to be a FOOD!

Me:  Blackberries?

MJ:  No, because Milo is already blackberries.

Me:  Black Pudding?

MJ:  Pudding is NOT black.

Me:  Umm... Blackened Redfish?

MJ (makes face)

Me: ...

MJ (brightens)  I know!  Black Coffee!

(runs off)

(returns)

MJ:  Oscar says Black Coffee is not a food.

Me:  Tell him I say it is.

MJ (gasps excitedly):  I will be Black Coffee Ice Cream!

(runs off, doesn't return)
