As we were starting our day, Zachary asked what was for dinner (no, we hadn't even eaten breakfast yet and yes, they do ask about food 2 0r 3 meals in advance). I told him I didn't know yet, I couldn't remember what was on the menu.
Stephen was quiet for a few seconds and then quietly said, "You."
A few seconds later as he realized what he just stumbled upon, he told Zachary again, a little louder, "Zachary, we're gonna eat you for dinner." Big grin shot my way. I tried to stifle my giggle.
Zachary blew him off at first, but the more Stephen said it, the more serious he sounded and the more worried Zachary looked. I was just going to let it fizzle out on it's own, but it was obvious Stephen was having too much fun to back down, and Zachary was getting a little frantic. At one point, I think I heard Stephen say that when he was a baby, he had another brother and we ate him. I had to end it there.
But it was funny.
And it sounded like something Sweet Hubby or I would say. Only we would know when to stop.
I wonder when Stephen and/or Zachary will tell Marc-Adam that he was adopted.

It would save on the grocery bill! :)
Too funny! I can't wait til my boys are old enough to joke like that!
K & I were laughing about this earlier.
And you're right--it's only a matter of time that the older ones are telling Marc-Adam that he's adopted.
too cute! im impressed that Zachary took it so well. That would have erupted into a total war between my two for sure.
I totally went through a phase of trying to make my sister believe she was adopted. It was fun.
