“Lily, what do you want for dinner?”

“Hot dog?”

“Really? Do you know what a hot dog is?”

“Pizza?”

“But last time you didn’t eat the pizza.”

“Hot dog. Hot dog! HOT DOG HOT DOG HOT DOG HOT DOG.”

Come to think of it, hot dogs sound pretty good. Only we don’t eat hot dogs in this house. How does she even know what a hot dog is? How about some sausage instead? With some grilled peppers and maybe some sweet potatoe fries on the side? Yeah. That’ll do.

For anyone curious as to how Lily learned about hot dogs, I suspect this book may have had something to do with it (the dramatic ending includes a huge hot-dog shaped blimp).
