MJ, weeping: The boys say I need a name for our game but I can't think of one!
Me: Can I help you think of a name?
MJ (sniffles): Okay, but it has to rhyme with "black."
Me: Um, Jack?
MJ: NO! It has to have black IN it!
Me: Black-patch the Pirate Princess?
MJ (exasperated): NO! It has to be a FOOD!
Me: Blackberries?
MJ: No, because Milo is already blackberries.
Me: Black Pudding?
MJ: Pudding is NOT black.
Me: Umm... Blackened Redfish?
MJ (makes face)
Me: ...
MJ (brightens) I know! Black Coffee!
(runs off)
(returns)
MJ: Oscar says Black Coffee is not a food.
Me: Tell him I say it is.
MJ (gasps excitedly): I will be Black Coffee Ice Cream!
(runs off, doesn't return)
OK, now I REALLY want to know more about this game they were playing!!! : )
