Communication Breakdown

Conversation with Drake yesterday afternoon.

Me:  Drake, we are going to go to Metropolitan Market.  It's the place that has the carts your size that you like to push around.
Drake:  Mommy, when we are there, can we get some bells.  When you eat them, they get smaller and they are rainbow colored.
M:  You want bells that get smaller when you eat them and are rainbow colored?
D:  No, Mommy, bells.
M:  Bells?
D:  Bells.
M:  Bells?
D:  No.  Beeeeeeeeeelllllllllllsssssss.
M: [Light bulb going on over head]  Drake, do you mean bears?
D:  Yes, bears.
M:  Gummi bears?
D:  Yes, gummi bears.
