Looks like Dad owes Mom some jewelry[Overheard in McDonald’s this morning]

Two little boys, approximately 4 or 5 years old, spy each other in line. Their mothers are holding their respective hands, staring straight ahead at the menu board with that dispassionate glazed look—like they’re pumping gas, or waiting for a dog to do its business.

  • Little boy #1: Hey! You get McDonald’s for breakfast too!
  • Little boy #2: Yeah! I’m getting pancakes! I thought I was never going to get pancakes again.
  • Little boy #1: How come? Your mom doesn’t make pancakes at home?
  • Little boy #2: No. I only get them here. And I didn’t think I was ever going to taste them ever again.
  • Little boy #1: How come?
  • Little boy #2: Because after my little brother’s birthday party, my Mom said she’d rather take it up the ass than eat here anymore.
