Another Lex-ism

Children think we adults know everything. Lex is no exception.

This happened when Lex was about 5 years old. (2 years ago)

One morning, Lex & I went to McDonald's. I turned to Lex in the car and asked him what he would like me to order for him. Lex declared that the only thing on the menu he would eat was a cheeseburger.

Great, I thought to myself. It is 9 in the morning. McDonald's is not going to make him a cheese burger, but maybe a Sausage McMuffin is close enough. He likes those. We pull up to the menu to place our order. The woman working the Drive-Thru comes on the speaker, "Welcome to McDonald's, May I help You?" Seriously...this chick working the window has the THICKEST Latino accent I have probably ever heard in my life.

I tell her, "Yes, I would like to order two sausage burritos & a sausage McMuffin."

Alex declares to me proudly, "Burritos and a Sausage McMuffin?? Wow mom, I didn't know you spoke Spanish." LOL. Yeah, in Lex's world "Sausage McMuffin" is Spanish for cheeseburger. :P
