Child: I want some more carrots.
Parent: You still have a piece of carrot in your bowl. Eat it first before you ask for more.
Child: I want one potato.
Parent: You say, "I want a piece of potato".
Child: I want a piece of green pea.
Parent: You still have two pieces of green peas in your bowl. Finish them first.
Child: I want chicken, please.
Parent: How many would you like?
Child: One piece. (One slice?)
Parent: Okay, here's a piece of chicken.
Parent: No, don't use your spoon. You'll get your saliva into the food and it would spoil much more easily. We're still going to save some for dinner. Use this serving spoon.
Child: Can I have more sauce?
Parent: You still have a lot of sauce in your bowl. Okay, I'll give you two more scoops. These would be your last scoops, okay?
Child: I'm done.
Parent: Not yet, you still have food in your bowl. Just two more bites and you're done.
Underlined phrases are especially troublesome.
