(while eating breakfast)

RJ: What if everything was made of rice bubbles? It would be great, we could eat anything!

Dad: Yeah, but you can’t survive on just rice bubbles. There’s not enough protein or vitamins.

RJ: Hmmm….

RJ: What if everything in the world was made of rice bubbles…. and bacon?

Dad: Deliciously awesome. That would work much better, but wouldn’t everything fall apart?

RJ: Hmmm….

RJ: What if everything in the world was made of rice bubbles…. and bacon… and peanut butter sandwiches?

Dad: That probably fixes everything!

RJ: Except roads.

Dad: I don’t know… PB sandwiches get pretty hard when they’re stale…

RJ: Good thinking, Dad! Bacon wheels rolling on peanut butter sandwich roads! We’ll need those!

Dad: Why?

RJ: So the trucks can get through!

Dad: The trucks?

RJ: It is going to get so messy when it rains. The trucks are going to have to come through to clean up. Floods are going to be a big problem.

(over breakfast)

LR: Hey! Why is there peanut butter in my dice cup?

Dad: Did you squeeze the dice too hard? The peanut butter might have squished out the edges.

LR: (sighing) No, Dad. I don’t think so.

RJ: Those dice are from peanut town! Everything is made from peanuts there. Houses. Clothes. Trees. The cars.

Dad: Anything else?

RJ: Yes, everything… (horrified) Even the breakfast cereal.
