Lost in Laundry

Conversation between Dylan and I as we ran errands this morning:

"Hey Dylan, you wanna eat at a restaurant for lunch today instead of going back home?"

"Yeah! Yay!"

"Okay, I think one McDonald's has $1.50 Happy Meals on Tuesday....we'll drive by and see."

" [big sigh] Mommy....McDonald's is NOT a restaurant."

(I sort of agree with him about that, but technically it IS a fast food restaurant.)

"Yes it is Dylan. McDonald's is a restaurant."

"Nope. It's not."

"Yes. It is."

"Are you sure Mommy? Who told you?"

"No one told me Dylan. I just know. Everywhere that you eat food is a restaurant."

"Oh. [deliberate pause] So home is a restaurant?"

At this point in the conversation, I'm not sure if he's mocking me. I don't think I ever convinced him that McDonald's qualifies as a "restaurant." I suppose he prefers a place with tablecloths, and waitresses who tell him how cute he is.

For local readers: I was wrong about the Happy Meals being $1.50 at McDonald's on Tuesdays. It's the Kids Meals at Burger King (at least in Lubbock), so that's where we ate. Dylan didn't offer his opinion on whether or not it qualified as a restaurant!

Sweet Yet Sassy had this to say:: L'il C would agree with you. I agree with Dylan.

Anytime I ask her where she wants to eat, the answer is McD's. Therefore I give her 2 choices of where I want to eat. LOL.; October 17, 2007 at 12:37 PM
