Making dinner (Wednesday)

Mom, matter-of-factly: And how do you feel about celery?
A.: What?
Mom: Did your research turn up anything about celery?
A.: ??
Mom: Is it healthy? Unhealthy? Anything odd about it?
A.: I didn't research celery.
Mom: But you'll eat celery.
A.: I will eat celery.
Mom: At least we have that.

A.: Does anyone else want 'yachmyen' [barley]?
Dad: Can we please keep calling it "pearlovka"
A.: As long as you understand that the barley in question isn't actually pearled.
Dad: [rolls eyes]
