Pass the what?

Last night for dinner my family and I sat down for a fabulous meal of spaghetti (puketti is our affectionate name for it). My youngest son kept asking for "Paper John" to go along with his meal. Not having a clue what he was talking about we all sort of ignored his request and ate. Suddenly someone... I think Brownie.... asked for some parmesean cheese. Lo and behold... that was exactly what Jellybean wanted all along. Who'd a known?
