unless you're a total nut job, you know that having ice cream at home is not the same thing as having ice cream not at home. i mean, come on.
almost every time i'm at the grocery store, i hear some half-wit mom telling her kid who wants her to buy him some ice cream that they have ice cream at home. like, who cares?
or maybe it's a dad whose son wants a stupid pack of gum, for pete's sake, and the dad says, as if the state of this kid's mortal soul depends upon it, "no, son.......we have plenty of gum at home."
i was reminded of this lunacy when i met with one of my clients and his dad the other day. the dad was telling me how the client wanted the dad to take him to mcdonald's to get him a sausage burrito for breakfast but the dad said, no, that the dad could very easily make his son a sausage burrito right here at home and the kid apparently threw a major colossal hissy fit and said, no, no, no.......that he wanted a sausage burrito from mcdonald's and no stupid sausage burrito from home was ever gonna be okay!!!
i was also reminded of this lunacy just now.......when i whipped myself up a sausage burrito right here at home.
next stop? dairy queen.
