Scene: Allmart. Mom is pushing kid one in cart. Kid two makes a sudden discovery
"Mom, mom! We need this!" He point to an overpriced can of Ravioli with a cartoon character on it.
Deciding to teach the kid a lesson in economics, Mom makes him read the label.
"Mini Rav. Rav-ravi-ooh ligh"
"Ravioli"
"Yeah, that's what I said."
Holding up a can of Allmarty goodness, "And what does this one say?"
"Mini Ravioli"
"So they are the same?"
"Well, yeah..."
"This one is 85 cents and this one is 50 cents. Which is a bigger number?"
He points correctly.
"So do you want to give the store a lot of your money or just a little?"
"A little."
We buy the generic.
New scene: In the car driving home.
Mom: "When we get home we are going to have some yummy ravioli!"
Boy: "I don't' like ravioli."
Not to be outsmarted.....Mom sneaks in a quick comeback..."Okay then we can have soup."
Boy instantly replies, "I like Ravioli"
I think that counts as a win for mom.....
