Scene From A Breakfast Table

(The kids are sitting quietly, eating a healthy breakfast of eggs, oatmeal, and milk. Jessica picks up a LimitedToo catalog showing a few cute preteen girls on the cover.)

Jessica: Hey Bren, which girl do you want to be your girlfriend when you grow up?

Brendon: None of them. Which boy do you want to be your boyfriend when you grow up?

Jessica: (scrunches up face, lets out a blood curdling scream, and then starts crying)

Brendon: (looking confused) What's wrong? You said the same thing to me! (looks to me) Mom, she said the same thing to me! Why is she crying?

I don't have an answer for him. We females are mysterious creatures.

Forgive me, but it's too perfect to not be said: If you can't take the heat, stay out of the kitchen, haha.
