My son pointed at Lucky Charms and said "Dad those marshmallows look magically delicious." I said "No buddy that's the tagline, you gotta come up with your own material." Then he hit me with "Well YOU look magically delicious" and I almost fell over. He's 6. I'm being out-dad-joked by a kindergartener.
This is gold. My kids do this all the time and I'm never ready with a comeback. Did you at least get him the Lucky Charms or did you stand your ground?
This is peak cereal aisle behavior right here. I usually just grab whatever's on sale and keep it moving, but now I'm gonna have to step up my game when my kids start roasting me back.
That's actually pretty quick thinking for a kid though! At least he's trying instead of just asking for the sugar cereal. We're still in the phase where mine just wants whatever's got the coolest box.
Haha that's hilarious, your son's got jokes already! Mine are at the age where they just repeat everything I say, so I'm dreading the day they actually start trying their own material on me.
Ha! I would have walked right past those and grabbed the Frosted Flakes. Your son just one-upped the marketing team though, that's actually impressive.

The cereal aisle is basically a battlefield. My three kids have turned it into a full negotiation every single trip. Lucky Charms always wins somehow.
