Overheard today while waiting at the deli in the grocery store:
Child: Mom, can I get some fruit? (As they are headed into the produce section.)
Mom: No! (All exasperated like.)
Child: But why? (All whiny like.)
Mom: Because you already got cookies and ice cream! (Frantically waving them in her daughter’s face to emphasize the point.)

that is funny. i wonder if the mother had any idea what she was *really* saying?
“sure, kill yourself on the ice cream and cookies. fruit might keep you alive and we can’t have that.”
