Kid asks me why the checkout person is scanning everything. I said "It's so they know how much it costs." He goes "Oh, so if we don't scan it, it's free?" Had to explain how that's not how shoplifting works to my son in the middle of the grocery store. Lady behind us was dying laughing.
The grocery store is peak dad joke territory. My kids used to be embarrassed but now they just accept that this is what happens when we go shopping together.
I respect this. That's a legitimate explanation too, not even technically a dad joke. Did the checkout person react?
That's gold. Kids say the weirdest stuff in the checkout line. I would've had to bite my tongue not to laugh.
Ha, that's actually pretty solid logic from a kid. Mine have asked similar things at checkout. It's those random observations that get you.
That's hilarious. My kids come up with stuff like that and I'm just standing there trying not to lose it. Out of the mouths of babes right?

That's a solid setup for the punchline. Did your kid laugh or just stare at you like you were losing it? Those are the best moments either way.
