After going to church today, my son, Christien, kept yelling that he wanted chocolate ice cream on a stick. The following is the dialog between he and I, to the best of my memory (this was hours ago):
Me: Well, where does chocolate come from, Christien?
Christien: Chocolate comes from... it comes... chocolate comes from sand, Daddy!
Me: Well, I guess that if you want some chocolate ice cream, you should go get it out of the sand, right?
Christien: No, Daddy, sand is dirty! I want it from the 'fridgerator!
Me: We don't have any more, so you'll have to get it from the sand since chocolate comes from sand.
Christien: But, it's dirty! I can't eat dirty chocolate, Daddy!
Me: But, how else are you going to get it if chocolate comes from sand and you don't want to get it from the sand?
Christien: It doesn't come from the sand, Daddy! From the 'fridgerator!
Me: Okay, so where does chocolate come from, now?
Christien: From...from...from chocolate SEEDS, Daddy! Chocolate SEEDS!
Me: Okay, so where do we get chocolate seeds from?
Christien: Chocolate seeds come from Chocolate trees! And when the Chocolate seeds come off of the Chocolate tree, we can get them!
Me: Where else can we get chocolate seeds from?
Christien: From the store!
Me: But how are we going to get the seeds from if we don't have the money to buy the seeds?
Christien: We have money, Daddy!
Me: Oh really? How much do chocolate seeds cost?
Christien: FOUR!
Me: Four what?
Christien: FOUR SEEDS!
Me: So, chocolate seeds cost four seeds?
Christien: Yes.
Me: But, how much do they cost if we don't have the seeds?
Christien: FIVE!
Me: Five what?
Christien: FIVE SEEDS!
Me: Ohhhhhh! So, chocolate seeds cost five seeds?
Christien: Yep!
Me: Oh, okay. I get it now...

Perhaps there are, at least comical, benefits to having a kid... ;)
One of many reasons I keep my sanity with four (4) boys. :D
