1:40 PM

WK:  I'm not going to sit here and wait for you to finish.  I'm going to play.

Me:  Sit and wait for everyone to be done with their lunch.

WK:  I don't want to.

Wife:  I spent the morning baking you a cake, made you your favourite lunch, and then got up five times during lunch to fetch you and LF special treats.  So who's being selfish now?

WK:  You are.

WK:  If I were a cheetah, I could kill a great white shark.

Me:  I don't think so, sweetie.

WK:  Why not?  I would use my stinger, and poison the shark when it swam by.

Me:  Cheetahs live on land, and can run fast.

WK:  Oh.  When I said 'cheetah' I meant 'octopus'.

Wife:  WK told me he wants to be a doctor when he grows up.

Me:  That's great!  WK, that would be a good job.

WK:  Yeah, I want to be a doctor.  But not a normal doctor.  I want to be the kind that actually helps people.
