Breakfast of Champions

I'm not the most prompt person. I often will do things like, say, make breakfast, eat it, but not clean up right away. Take this morning for example. I made pancakes for everyone, ate it, then left some stuff out to be cleaned later.

So when Bean decided to make his own breakfast, he had a lot of materials to choose from. When I walked in to the kitchen and saw him sipping something off a fork, I wasn't sure exactly what had happened. At first I thought it was something from the refridgerator. It was in a tupperware bowl, something brown with white chunks in it.

Ends up, he grabbed himself a bowl, filled it with syrup, then added pancake mix. Yum. I applaud his effort.

Without missing a beat

So I'm telling some jokes to my sister and I'm recapping a joke I heard from my other sister. Ender is listening in. It goes as follows:

Did you know Washington is one of only two places in the world where an earthquake, tsunami, and volcano can occur all at the same time? The other is Tokyo. Of course, they can also have a Godzilla.


So Ender, without missing a beat, continues seriously with "What about Rodan and Orga?" I didn't know how to react.
