Fish Oil

Sam: "Mom."

Me:  "Yes, Sam?"

Sam:  "Next time we go to the store can we buy fish oil?"

Me:  "Um, what?  Have you been hanging out with GrandJoe too much?"

Sam:  "What?"

Me:  "Has GrandJoe been telling you the benefits of fish oil?"

Sam:  "No.  I want to bounce like Tigger."

Me: "Huh?"

Sam:  "That's how Tigger bounces.  Fish oil.  I learned it in the Winnie the Pooh Movie."

Me:  "Okay..."

Sam:  "So can we?  get fish oil?"

Me:  "Um, maybe."

Sam:  "Because then I can bounce like Tigger."  

Me:  "Will you grow a tail like Tigger?"

Sam:  "Mom.  Really, that's just silly."

Pause.

Sam:  "Mom, GrandJoe likes fish oil?"

Me:  "Yes, he takes it."

Sam:  "Can he bounce?"
