descriptive language

Me: Elsie, no. Just because you found cookies by the couch doesn't mean you get to eat one.

Elsie: But I want one! I need sugar!

Me: No. You have already had a lot of sugar today. You had candy with Karis and a rhubarb bar with cool whip. That is a lot of sugar in one day.

Elsie: (Elsie swallows and chews her tongue for a second.) But mom. My mouth doesn't taste like sugar. It just tastes like gooey water!
