True Story

As I was putting Xander's shoes on this morning he said to me, "Be careful you don't lecter yourself on my shoes, mom."

"What are you talking about?" I asked him.

"If you lecter yourself you will catch on fire."

"What does 'lecter' mean?"

"When you turn the heat up and it's way up high and you knock it on the table and it gets on fire and when you put water on it you can stick your fingers out and when you throw them in the trash can they 'splode."

"What?"

"You can roast weenies on them."

"What?"

"You put them in the fire."

"So your shoes are on fire?"

"No, they're lectric."

"Oh! So when you said 'Don't lecter myself" you meant "Don't ELECTROCUTE myself'."

"That's what I said.  But actually they're hot dogs but they just call them weenies because they're little."

"OK, I'll be careful."
