Let’s eat Larry!

The boys found a cucumber in my grocery bags today.

[Various boys] Mom, is this a cucumber?  Can we eat it?

L2 (4.5yrs): It’s LARRY!!!!
L1 (6yrs): Let’s go find a tomato!
Mom: I don’t have any tomatoes.
Boys: Let’s eat him!  Yeah – let’s eat him!
Mom: Do you really want to eat Larry?
Boys: YEAH!!!!!!!!  Let’s eat Larry!!!

L2 runs off to get a cutting board and paring knife.  Next time I see him, he’s poised with the knife over the cucumber on the cutting board.  L2: I‘m going to cut him!  It’s the end of your life, cucumber!  He’s going to bleed!!!!! 

<<cuts cucumber in half>>

L2 picks up both ends of the cucumber and give a high-pitched, dramatic “dying” scream: AHHHHHH!!!!!!! I’m BLEEDING!!!!!!!!   <<back to his regular (but vengeance-filled) voice>>  I’m going to cut you some more!!!!  <<cuts cucumber into smaller circles and continues the drama>>
