scene from the movie of my life
setting: interior of gas guzzling environmentally disastrous SUV.
family of 5 and fuzzy dog present.
shot: SUV pulls into fast through drive thru and mother orders frozen cokes all around.
Mother pulls truck around building and middle child from third row seat speaks.
middle child: "Con..con.. why does Burger King sell condoms? What's a condom?"
SFX: FREEZE FRAME-
All motion slows/freezes except parents turning to each other.
Their eyes meet.
mother's eyes: I swear it wasn't me who said that word.
father's eyes: I'm not telling him.
mother's eyes: Hold me I'm scared.
father's eyes: I AM NOT TELLING HIM!
mother's eyes: scared... me... help
Real time resumes.
Middle child: "I mean CONDIM-ENTS, what does it mean when it says 'condiments on request?'"
cue parents: exhale/put eye balls back in head
fade to black to the sound of nervous adult laughter and the pleading voice of the middle child.
middle child: "Why are you guys laughing? What is so funny?!?"
oooh what's a frozen coke?!?!

I was that kid. Always having a new word to try out and somehow getting it just wrong enough to be freakin' hilarious - "Why are y'all laughing?"
