Tastes Like Chicken

The other night we were having chicken wings for dinner. Connor and Liam were pretending they were eating dinosaurs instead of chicken when Liam decides to throw some variety into the game.
Connor: I'm eating a pteranodon.
Liam: I'm eating an airplane.
Connor: You can't eat an airplane.
Liam: No, the guy who flies it.
He's a bucket load of cute, but I'm having trouble sleeping now.




PS. Yes, he's eating ice cream in this picture but I didn't have any of him eating a make believe human part.

    Sounds like something Indy would say! And I'd be very afraid.

    I don't want to throw a spanner in the works but that's an ice-cream, not chicken.

    *blink*

    In Canada, do you guys have chicken-flavoured ice-cream? Or on that note, what about ice-cream-flavoured chicken?

    The way it showed in my dashboard was with the headline and that picture. It made for a WTH moment.

    That is very funny.

    LMMFHO!!! That is too funny, eating the pilot. HEH!

    I'm gonna play 'for the sake of sleepy time devil's advocate'. Perhaps ... he wanted to be the dinosaur doing the eating, thus eating the person ... flying the itty bitty people plane?

    See that's where I would have gone with it ... if only for the sake of my sanity!

    My niece and nephew had chicken for fingers not too long and ago and Mistah asked our niece, "I didn't even get to see you at dinner last night. What did you have?"

    "Um, chicken.... chicken hands."

    Now we call *every* piece of chicken we eat "chicken hands."

    So, one of your boys knows what a pteranodon is and the other doesn't know that a guy who flies a plane is called a Pilot or Captain. Strange education system you have.
    What is your boy imagining that ice cream he's eating is? Great photo.

    Have you seen Ricky Gervais guest star on the F-word with Gordon Ramsey? First it's eating animals with names, then it's cousins. It's not a far jump from a wing to a pilot, I'm just saying.

    I guess I would take the attitude that he moved from eating dinosaurs, to being a dinosaur,and only then onto eating pilots.
    Does that help any?

    My youngest went through a dino phase too... he was a carnivor to everone he encountered. Then he found out dinos were canibals as well, so then he became a canabalistic carnivor. Now he wants to be a secret agent. God help us all if he puts them all together.
