Daddy [puts Child #2 on the naughty step after it makes the cat cry): Sit down for two minutes and I want you tho think about the cat.

Child #2 [sits down and starts quietly says]: Meow…….meow….

Me: It’s a recipe for duck a l’orange. Do you know what that is?

Child #1: No.

Me: It’s duck with something else. Do you know what the other thing in the recipe might be?

Child #1: Sand?

Cooked a snake
