I believe it was mentioned in an earlier post that Ari has somehow confused the meaning of "thank you" and "you're welcome." The other night during dinner, Xander thought to share a piece of his dinner with his brother and decided to address the issue:
Xander (handing him some chicken): "Here you go, Ari."
Ari: "Elcome!"
At this point I intervened because Xander started to clutch his fork menacingly.
Xander: "No Ari, when I give you something, you say 'Thank you.'"
Ari: "Elcome!"
Xander: "ARI, you are supposed to say 'Thank you.'"
Ari: "Elcome!"
Xander: "No! Ari, you say 'Thank you!'"
Ari: "Elcome!"
Xander: "NO! ARI! Say THANK YOU!"
Ari: "Elcome!"
Xander: "NO! SAY THANK YOU!!!!"
Ari: "Elcome!"
Xander: "ARG!!! NO ARI, THAT'S NOT RIGHT!! SAY THANK YOU!!!!"
Ari: "Elcome!"
That one's a tough nut to crack. I tried over and over without success. Finally, finally I said: "When I give YOU something, you thank ME by saying THANK YOU and I say You're Welcome." And then I put it to the test and gave her something and she confidently responded with a hearty "THANK ME!"
