He's Not Here.


Today after school I witnessed this conversation:
Emma: I'm still hungry.
Goody: You ate a bowl of watermelon, a bowl of strawberries, a bowl of chips and a piece of cake.
Emma: I'm still hungry.
Goody: Eat a banana.
Emma: I'm blind. Where are the bananas? (Her eyes are closed and she does the zombie walk)
Goody: Over there.
Emma: Over here? (and she heads straight for the cake)
Goody. No. Over here. (redirecting her)
Emma: OK (turning and heading back towards the cake)
Grandad: We hid chocolate cake in one of those bananas. You just have to pick the right one.
Emma: Disbelieving smile.
Grandad: But if you pick the wrong one you have to eat the banana.
Emma: You're lying.
Grandad: Grandads never lie.
Emma: Yes they do. I have a Grandad who always lies (quick processing of resulting consequences of that statement) but he's not here.
Goody, Grandad, Me: Die laughing.
Emma: It's just a banana. I told you.
Grandad: You picked the wrong one.
Emma: Yeah. Right. (Consumes entire banana)
