Kids are Funny

A few years ago, my preschool son and I were discussing Hallowe'en. He told me "I know two ways to kill a vampire. There's garlic, and, ... ham?" He was positive about the first method but not so sure of the second. My husband looked very confused and I started to giggle. My response: "Not ham, honey. You mean steak!" Amid much uproarious laughter, I tried to explain the difference between steak and stake while my older daughter mimed slapping someone to death with a raw slab of beef.
