Friend, Acquaintance, or Total Stranger: Oh, you're going to have a new baby sister. That's exciting.
Luke (gleefully jumping up and down, grinning from ear to ear): Yes! It is! Because when we go to McDonald's, we'll have to ask for a boy AND a girl toy!
haven't you had that baby YET?
don't you LOVE when people ask you that?

I just tell them: "Yes, actually, I have. This giant round thing under my shirt is a watermelon. I had nowhere else to put it."
Oh wait, I'm already using that one when fielding questions about my breasts.

Well, there you go. It all comes back to McDonald's...which is also Jr.'s preferred cuisine above everything.

Ah, yes, the lure of McD's. Meg's thought process was similar, but then she is a girl who likes to locate the gift shop FIRST in every place we visit.

But is it actually the, er, cuisine, do you think? I think it's those dratted, diabolical 3 cent toys and the fact that they come in collections. Luke talks about his McDonald's toys more than any of his other ones...
