Family Movie Night

Scene: Mama, Mommy, and 6YO are watching Charlotte’s Web. Fern has just rescued Wilbur, the pig, from certain death. Scene changes abruptly to bacon frying in a pan.

6YO: What’s that?

Mommy: [Having already discussed that bacon = pig, says, deadpan] Pig.

6YO: It’s not a pig!

Mama: It’s irony.

6YO: [With the certainty of a six year old] Yeah, it’s not a pig, it’s irony.

Irony does sound a lot better than pig, doesn't it?

Got your bags packed yet, MSEH?

Nope! 6YO is dying eggs and I'm waiting to check in for my flight. See you soon!
