a conversation between Cotter and myself on the way back from the airport:

Cotter: Daddy?
Me: Yes?
He: You know that red-haired guy?
Me: Which red-haired guy?
He: The one with red hair.
Me: I have no idea what you are talking about.
He: The guy that's always at the burger place...
Me: Oh, you mean Ronald McDonald.
He: That's right. So should I call him "Ronald" or "Mick"?
Me: Call him "Ronald."
He: Well, some people call you "Mac..."
Me: I'm not sure we know him well enough yet to call him "Mick."
He: Is he the Burger King?
Me: No...that's some other guy.
He: So which one is Wendy married to?
Me: Are you trying to tell me that you are ready for lunch?
He: Oh, yes sir! That'd be great!
Me: So what do you want?
He: A peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Me: I don't know if I'll ever understand you.
