From Kidnapping to Twinkies


Conversation in the car.

Me: My friend has a job interview right by my work!  I'm so excited.  He's got some rough competition, though.
Asher:  Competition?
Me:  Yep.  Someone he doesn't like. You know that mean kid Craig?
Asher: Ya.  He's really mean.
Me: Well, the guy he's competing against is mean.  So, it'd be like if Craig got the job you wanted.
(Asher thinks quietly.)
Asher: Just have to kidnap him.
Me: Then his mom will be sad.
Asher: Well, his mom too.
Me: Then what about his mom's friends?  And her family? They'd be pretty upset.  They'd cry and cry.
Asher: Have to kidnap them all.  Put them in a box somewhere, and they could be together but not get the job.
Me: Everyone is connected to someone, so somebody, somewhere would be sad. You'd have to kidnap everyone.
Asher: I'd be the only one left. Then there'd be no one else to eat the twinkles.  All the more for me.

LOL
