Cute or exasperating?

Lucas spends a lot of time these days playing "restaurant". He asks you for your order, and occasionally he brings you something in that general neighborhood. More commonly, you get an exchange like this:

L: What [would you] like, Dada?
D: Two eggs and a coffee.
L: OK. [pause] What like, Dada?
D: Two eggs and a coffee, please.
L: Sandwich?
D: Sure, I'll have a sandwich, too.
L: Ice cream?
D: No, no ice cream.
L: What like, Dada?
D: Um, two eggs and a coffee, and that sandwich.
L: Cake?
D: Sure, that sounds good.Is it ready yet?
L: Not ready. Still cooking. What like, Dada?
D: Two eggs and a coffee, please.
L: It's closed now.
D: Lucas, what kind of restaurant is this?
L: What like, Dada?

etc. etc. etc.

At least he didn't ask "want to supersize that?" - then folks would wonder what kind of places you take him to eat!
