making sense of the world

Jonah has been trying to make sense of the world. He is a pretty good communicator with a very large vocabulary. However there are a few times where his words while intelligible are still misunderstood. This causes frustration for both him and us. The other day we were having burritos for dinner when the following conversation ensued:

Jonah: "Quesadilla." gesturing at the bag of tortillas.
Me: "Those are tortillas. Do you want some tortilla?"
Jonah: "Quesadilla"
Me: "Here is some tortilla." ripping him a small piece of tortilla.
Jonah: "No. Cheese."
Me: "You want cheese? Carrie can you cut him a slice of cheese?"
Jonah: "No want cheese."
Me: "Would you make up your mind? Cheese or no cheese?"
Jonah: "Quesadilla" Me: "Tortilla!!!"

I thought he had his words confused but clearly he wanted me to make him a quesadilla; unfortunately I didn't figure it out until the next day.
