You're allergic to strawberries

This morning, after John got Taylor out of her crib, she met me in bed. The two of us snuggled for a bit and read a book. Then we had this delightful little conersation. Note: we rarely discuss her strawberry allergy because it just doesn't come up as often as her dairy allergy.

D: Well, I'm going to get up. Do you want some cereal?
T: I want a smoothie.
D: OK.
T: I want strawberries in my smoothie.
D: No, you don't get strawberries in your smoothie. You're allergic to strawberries.
T: No, I want strawberries IN my smoothie (as though I didn't hear her the first time & as though it would be OK for her to have them IN a smoothie).
D: No, honey. You're allergic to strawberries.
T: No, I'm not.
D: Yes, you are. Strawberries make you have bad poopies.
T: No, I won't poop in my underwear.
D: You can't help it, honey. Strawberries make you have bad poops.
T: Nooo....
D: Yesss, strawberries make your tummy hurt.
T: But I'll drink it slowly. (When she drinks fast she says her tummy hurts, so I always tell her it's because she drank too fast :) ).
D: Even if you drink slowly, strawberries make your tummy hurt. You can have blueberries in your smoothie.
T: OK. :)
