There Are No Poisonous Cows, Mom

Little boy pointing to portabella mushroom: Mommy, what’s that?
Tired mother: It’s a mushroom. Someday I’m going to make you a hamburger for dinner, but instead of meat, it’s going to have one of those mushrooms in it.
Little boy looking back at mushroom, terrified: Why would you do that?!

And Resigning From Your Fan Club

50-something woman: I want the tiramisu for my birthday cake!
Husband: Well, the restaurant says they only have individual portions, not a big thing. That would be expensive for eleven people.
50-something woman: Well, I don’t want the key lime pie, that’s fifth on a list of five options.
20-something woman #1: Well, why don’t we get a pie for everyone else, and a tiramisu for you?
50-something woman: I want everyone to eat what I’m eating in commemoration of my birthday!
20-something woman #2: Oh my god. I’m leaving.
