Overheard today in the back seat of the van

I had a hard time not laughing out loud during this conversation between Sam and his 5-year-old cousin while we were in the drive-thru getting lunch.


Jack: You know, I'm almost a vegetarian.


Sam: I am a vegetarian, but my parents make me eat meat....except ham. I like ham.


Jack: If I stop eating ham and hot dogs and chicken and fish, I will be a vegetarian.


Sam: I have to stop liking corn dogs and ham, but that's it. Then I will be a vegetarian.


Jack: So I just need to stop liking 4 things and you have to stop liking 2 things. Then we will be vegetarians. Oh! And brats, too. I love brats.


Sam: Oh yeah! But I mostly just like ham....I hope I stop liking that ham soon.....Actually, I think I've already stopped liking it.


Sam (about 30 seconds later as I hand him a ham and cheese sub): Thanks, Mom. I'm going to eat this whole thing!
