Earlier this week, Justin and I decided to go out for breakfast. I asked him where he wanted to go and he chose IHop. While we were in the car, the following conversation took place:
Me: “I am going to get the biggest pancake they have.”
Justin: “Ooh….me too! I want one bigger than my head!”
Me: “I want one bigger than my whole body!”
And then, Justin’s imagination kicked in….
Justin: “Daddy, I want you to get a big pancake and when the lady puts it in front of you, I want you to grab your fork and then the pancake will grab the knife and you will fight each other to see who gets to eat who. And you will lose. And then the pancake will cut you into little pieces and then grab the syrup and pour it all over you and then eat you.”
Me: “Well, that sucks.”
Justin: “And daddy…when the pancake is done eating you, it will poop you out like scrambled eggs.”
Me: “I think I’ll just have some toast now. Thanks.”
Justin: “It’s ok daddy, because I am going to kill and eat your pancake’s baby pancake.”
Me: “You will avenge me?”
Justin: “I will say, ‘This is for eating my daddy,’ and then I will pour syrup on him and eat him.”
Me: “Thanks buddy.”
