Spiceless Quesadillas

Troy: “I don’t want this for lunch.”
Me: “But it’s quesadillas. You love quesadillas.”
Troy: “Not these. Mama gets chicken on them.”
Me: “What’s wrong with chicken?”
Troy: “It’s too spicy.”
Me: “Well, you’re in luck. The chicken in these quesadillas doesn’t have any spice on it. You see, what happened was that a piece of chicken in the quesadilla factory became aware that they were trying to spice him. But he was allergic to spice, because it made his skin break out in a rash. So, he made a break for it just as the spice machine was about to cover him in spice. He jumped through the cloud of spice as it puffed by, barely missing his perfectly-cooked body. He ran through the factory, dodging various bits of machinery, and finally dived into the first hiding spot he could find. Which just so happened to be in this very quesadilla. So, you see, you have nothing to worry about. Your chicken’s bold adventure means that your quesadillas are fit for consumption.”
Troy: “What does ’consumption’ mean?”
Me: “Eat!”
