A huge plate of the hash browns from the diner. A chocolate milkshake and some cake.
What kind of cake?
There's only one kind of cake, Lochie.
Strawberry shortcake?
No, silly. Fruit and cake don't belong together. Try again.
Cheesecake?
Gross! No one's going to make a cake with cheese!
Hot dog cake?
That would go good with cheese cake.
That would go well.
That's what I said!
You don't use the word 'good', you use 'well'. That would go 'well'.
Well, it would go good.
He let out a long breath. So what if we did that?
Got some cheese and baked a cheesy cake?
No, went and got huge plates of hash browns and milkshakes and cake that is only chocolate forever and ever.
It's expensive.
It will cost us twelve dollars. I have eighteen.
What about tomorrow?
Tomorrow we make more money. And then we can do it again.
I wonder if cheesy cake costs more than chocolate.
I think it does, Peanut.
Why?
They have to shake the cows to make the cheese. Labor costs.
How do they get the cheese out?
Don't even ask. But that adds to the price as well.
At least with chocolate someone just has to go pick the chocolate beans off the tree.
He laughed out loud. It's my favorite noise of his thus far. And I'm humoring him just to hear it. Because I know chocolate beans don't grow on a tree, they grow on bushes, duh.
