To be clear here, I am not always sure when she is being serious or if she is kidding. That is what makes our conversations more fun.

Leaving the grocery store:

Lauren- Why did we have to pay for this stuff?

Me- What? Why wouldn't we?

Lauren- Uh...World War Z, Contagion, I Am Legend, Zombieland. No one pays for their stuff during a pandemic. Everyone knows this. We were cheated. 

Me- Yeah, I am with you on this one.

............

A bit later...

Lauren- Okay, we need to find an island to go to in case people turn into zombies. 

Me- How will that help?

Lauren-Everyone knows zombies can't swim.

Me- Okay, Good point. But how will we get there. 

Lauren- The judge has a boat (our neighbor is a justice of the peace). We could take his boat.

Me- And him and his wife?

Lauren- I don't understand.

Me- What if they don't want to give us the boat? 

Lauren- Take 'em out.  We have to make the hard choices dad. 

Me- The boat fits 5. I'm sure the island can handle a lot of people.

Lauren- NOBODY IS ALLOWED ON OUR ISLAND! MAKE THE HARD CHOICES DAD!

.....................

One minute later...

Lauren- I think I have a fever.

Me- Oh Shut up.
