Nothing to eat

A few days ago, Michael complained that he had "nothing to eat."  He complains about "nothing to eat" a lot.  He goes around the house saying (in Cantonese) in a loud lament, "I have nothing to eat!!!"

I asked him, "okay, let's count what you've eaten since this morning:
  • noodles
  • grape juice
  • fruits
  • 2 kinds of potato chips
  • rice
  • chicken
  • vegetables
  • fish
  • jelly beans
  • Japanese Mochi cakes


You've eaten like 10 different things since morning, and its only noon.  Why do you say you have nothing to eat?"

He really didn't have an answer, just looked at me and said "yeah".

This is like when he walks past his train table, boxes and boxes of toys, past the iPad, iPhone, computers, and says "I have nothing to play with!"
