Boy the Younger: What’s for supper, Mother?
Me: Chilli
Boy the Younger: Oh brilliant! You make the 2nd best chilli in the world!
Me: 2nd best? Who makes the best?
Boy the Younger: Lucy (his sister)

Boy the Younger: You make the best banana splits though
Me: There are no banana splits
Boy the Younger: Oh.
Exeunt all pursued by a bear
