a very hypothetical conversation

scene:  while sitting at the dinner table, during an extremely mediocre (at best) meal, a husband and wife begin chatting.  their two children are in the background - two boys.  a newborn baby who is peacefully sleeping on the couch...and a toddler who is running around the house with the kind of energy only a toddler can possess.

husband:  (spoken while chewing his mediocre meal) how bout if i run to wendy's a pick up a couple of burgers?

wife:  will you take "toddler" with you?

husband:  only if i can leave him there.
