Me:
“No, why?”
Troy:
“It tastes like it came from the doctor.”
Me:
“How would you know it came from the doctor? How does a sucker from the doctor
taste differently from a sucker from home?”
Troy:
“The suckers from the doctor taste like gummy bears.”
Me:
“Got it. If it tastes like gummy bears, the. It came from the doctor. So, does
that sucker taste like gummy bears?”
Troy:
“No.”
Me
[laughing]: “Well, then why would you’d think it came from the doctor?”
Troy:
“Because you just went to the doctor yesterday.”
Me:
“That was last week, and it was the dentist. I don’t think the dentist would be
giving me a sucker.”
Troy:
“Oh.”
Me:
“What flavor did you get anyway?”
Troy:
“Coffee.”
Me:
“Let me see.”
Troy
[showing me the wrapper]: “See.”
Me:
“That’s root beer, and it most definitely does NOT taste like coffee. How would
you even know what coffee tastes like? You’ve never had it.”
Troy:
“I don’t know.”
Me:
“Do you want to know what coffee tastes like?”
Troy:
“Yes.”
Me:
“Dirt. Do you remember that time you were playing in the backyard and got mud
in your mouth?”
Troy:
“Yes.”
Me:
“That’s what it tastes like. Wet dirt. I’m pretty sure coffee grounds actually
come from the dirt under the plants where the grubs live.”
Troy:
“That’s disgusting!”
Me:
[imitating the wolves from the Storks movie] “I agree, I agree, I agree!”
Troy [licking his sucker several times very quickly]: “It tastes like flowers!”
