Local Boy's Attempt to Reverse Order of Nature ends in Failure, Tears, Snot

Family members were amazed and horrified last evening when their almost two year old toddler bravely attempted to reverse the long-established order of dinner before dessert, refusing to eat his nutritious pumpkin-and-codfish porridge in preference for "chocyate".

Onlookers attempted to persuade the toddler to reconsider his course of action by multiple deployment of a high-chair, several choices of High Five and threats but he was not dissuaded, instead opting to interface with the living room rug which he proceeded to infuse with copious amounts of snot, spit and tears. Local authorities were called to the scene to extricate the boy from the rug, after which he was airlifted to a nearby sofa. A half-eaten and partially concealed box of Gavotte chocolates were later recovered near the rug but neither the toddler nor the house pet were available for comment at press time.

A spokesperson for the boy has confirmed that the boy subsequently finished his porridge but was too sleepy for "chocyate".
