de la creme*

"Hot chocolate, please," he said, "with cream and marshmallows."
I told him that we didn't have any "squirty" cream, only whipped double cream which tends to sink, so would he prefer just the marshmallows which is what we normally do? 
"Nah," he said, "stick the cream in," then added, "I don't care. It's not for me."
One of my young staff (aged 20) was, shall we say, riled by his response. 
"Typical," she said, "that's exactly the sort of thing my dad would say."


*can't find the accent grave. Sorry.
