I had to go to Walmart for something, and took Megan with me.
While we were waiting in the checkout line, I watched as she looked longingly at all of the impulse shopping items on display. Colored duct tape was a major draw, but then I saw her eye-balling some Bic lighters.
Megan: Ooh, if this one didn't have a skull on it, I'd totally get these.
Me: For WHAT??
Megan: For the computer.
Me: What exactly do you think those are?
Megan: Memory sticks?
Me: Um, no. Those are LIGHTERS.
Megan: Oh. Then I'd use them to light fireworks!!
Me: Right.
Notice that she didn't say, "Oh. Then I'd use them to light cigarettes." That's because we don't smoke. That's right. INSTEAD, we (and by "we" I mean "her father") allow her to light FIREWORKS on July 4th ... WITH REAL FIRE.
But we don't smoke.
