Me: Hey Clark, what’s going on, why are you screaming?

Clark: Well I’m not going to scream anymore because I have everything I want now. I have you. I love you mama. You’re… my favorite… woman… in Indianapolis.

me: do you want turkey on your sandwich?

clark: yep. hey wait. turkey? it’s… turkey? it’s a dead animal??

me: um… yep.

clark: are you KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?

clark: i hate eating dead animals.

me: that’s just fine, i’ll give you cheese

clark: no no no, uh, i mean, i want turkey too. it does taste pretty good.

he ate the meat and left the bread and cheese.

“IT’S my birthday! IT’S MY BIRTHDAY! ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY MYSELF’ said little sister to Clark!”

Then she hugged him.
It’s her birthday.
