Conversation with a three year old who recently watched Disney's Treasure Planet.


my son: Mom, if you fall into a black hole you die. You are dead, the end, no more, finished, die - die- die.


me: Yes, I know. That would be pretty scary.


my son: You would be so dead that even if you were trying to be a god you definitely could not go the distance. (from Disney's Hercules)


I decided: To a three year old life probably is a Disney movie.

Conversation with a Deli Counter Worker (DCW)

DCW: Can I help you?

Me: Yes I would like a 1/2 lb. of Mesquite Smoked Turkey Breast.

DCW: Do you mean Honey Smoked?

Me thinking: Is there such a thing as honey smoked?

Me: No I would like Mesquite Smoked

DCW: I don't know what you're talking about.

Me: Well right here behind the glass you have this big hunk of meat with a wrapper on it that says Butterball Mesquite Smoked Turkey breast and then in front of it is a little sign that has the price and says the same thing. That is what I would like

DCW: Oh, ok, does it look like this (Holding up a wrapper of honey roasted turkey breast)?

Me: No that's honey roasted I would like the mesquite smoked.

DCW: Well I just don't know what to do.

Me: Why don't you grab this piece of meat right here and cut me a 1/2 lb. (Pointing to the Mesquite smoked)

DCW: oh - you mean the mesquite smoked.

Me Thinking: Are you kidding me, I'm not even at walmart. I have got to be on some kind of hidden camera show.

Me:Yes, that one would be fine thank you. 1/2 lb. please.

DCW: How much do you want?......

I'd much rather have a conversation with my three year old any day!!!!!!
