Boo-Hoo

Yesterday after I picked N. up from school, he claimed that he was STARVING and needed a snack before we went to the park. I didn't want to go all the way home, I forgot to bring something along as I usually do, and the baby was sleeping in his car seat. I didn't want to have to wake him up just yet. I told the boys that they could get fast food chicken nuggets and some juice. No fries. So that's what we did. We went through the drive-through and each kid got a 4 pack of chicken nuggets and some orange juice to eat on the way to the park. From the back I hear:

N: "BOO. HOO" (not crying, he said the words "boo. hoo."

Me: "What's wrong?"

N: "So sad"

Me: "?????"

N: "This isn't a happy meal, it's a SAD meal. A very, very, SAD meal. No fries......no toy......just some sad, sad, chicken."

LOL. That's hilarious. Kinda makes me wonder if either of my kids would come up with something that clever, but recognition of a happy meal would have to come first, I suppose!

Yes, the fact that my kids are familiar with Happy meals isn't #1 on my "reasons I'm not a crappy mother" list!

Absolutely *no* judgement placed on familiarity with Happy Meals! The sad fact is that if I bought one, the only thing my kids would eat are the fries. Protein? What's that?
