Confused, I asked, "Do we have buttons to play with?"

Who taught my son to say "and slash or" and use it properly in conversation? CRACKED me up!! He told me he would like "a hot dog and slash or pizza" for lunch.
Ha! I love the shivering timbers :)

ReplyDeleteThe bacon thing is especially funny for me tonight, 'cause here's my Facebook status at the moment:
ReplyDeleteWill, looking at a piece of pepperoni pizza: "I wish this was pizza with meat on it." Yeah, that's how I feel about pepperoni, too. When I told him that pepperoni is meat, he said, "Well I wish this pizza had some pork on it."
