The Sucker Shop

It’s been a while since I’ve been home on a Friday -- and I’ve missed our donuts for breakfast tradition. J cried at my insistence to just wear his PJs and refused to leave the house without being dressed. At Daylite Donuts drive-up window:

J: We’re not going in?

Carol: No, we don’t go in, we just drive up. (Daylite Donuts only has a screened-in porch)

J: (flatly) Grandma Miess takes me in.

Carol: Grandma Miess takes you in? This donut shop? There’s nowhere to go in. Is that why you didn’t want to wear your PJs?

J: (insisting) Grandma Miess takes me in there to get donuts.

Carol: This donut shop? This donut shop?

Then, to prove the point that he knew exactly where he was, J pointed to the Credit Union next door and exclaimed --

J: Yes! And Grandma Miess takes me in that sucker shop too!
