Conversations with P

P: Can you buy Mini-Wheats?
Me: Um, do those have sugar?
P: No – they are these strings what you can eat, that are all tied up in a ball, and there’s white toothpaste on one side that tastes like milk.
Me: Toothpaste? Well, we’ll see. I used to like those too when I was a kid.
P: They had those when YOU were alive?

Also…

P: X is my first best friend, Y is my second and Z is my fourth.
Me: Really? Well, you know I wouldn’t tell Z he is only your fourth best friend. It might hurt his feelings.
P: Well… I told him and he was okay with it!
