Pardon me?

Last night at the dinner table, Rachel finished her water and then told me that she wanted some chocolate milk. Since she didn't ask politely, I simply said "Pardon me?" which is an indicator to Rachel that she did not remember to use her manners.

R: "Chocolate milk!"

Mom: "Pardon me?"

R: "Chocolate milk!!"

Mom: "Pardon me?"

R: "Chocolate milk!!!"

Mom: "Pardon me?"

R: "The thing next to you on the table! CHOCOLATE MILK!!!!"

I guess she thought I was hard of hearing or something! After Ben and I stopped laughing, Ben told Rachel that she needed to say "please" and that yes, Mom did indeed understand what chocolate milk was.
