The Foorce

Between the mispronunciation and slightly misconstrued information tonight’s conversation was a real tail-chaser as I tucked James in for the night.

James is in italics and my responses are in bold.

(Closing the book and getting out of bed)

Wow, James, can you imagine? They found 14, 700 gum balls! Those kids are awfully lucky.

Yeah but they’re true junkies.

What?

They’re true junkies.

True junkies? 

Oh yeah.

Where’d you hear that?

I don’t know.

Did you read it?

Yeah. Chips are too.

What?

Chips are too junky.

Ohhhhh. Did you say too junky or true junky?

(Pause) Chips are way too junky. You shouldn’t eat too many of them.

Why do you think so?

Because they have too much salt and stuff.

What happens if you eat too much salt?

It makes you cough a lot.

Don’t you like chips?

Yeah.

Do you eat them a lot?

No!

Because they’re so junky?

Yeah. And we don’t have chips at our house.
