This morning at 6:30, my youngest asked me if I would get him some ice cream from the freezer. I told him that ice cream is not an appropriate breakfast food.
A few minutes later, I found him in the kitchen, struggling to scoop some ice cream out of the container. I said again that I didn't want him eating ice cream for breakfast.
"But Dad," he said. "I'm not having this for breakfast. I already ate breakfast. This is just a snack."

Would you have thought him a future ex-Mormon were he to have instead said: "I don't believe in breakfast anymore, dad. I am much happier now that I am eat ice cream." ;-)

Or if he spoke of ice cream as the One True breakfast food?
