Why the check-out line always empties quickly when we are in it

Squirt: You said to pick out the kind of fruit I wanted in my lunch… well here it is. (Places a bag of kiwi fruit onto the conveyer belt.)

Bonnie: Kiwi! How are you going to eat this at school?

Squirt: I’ll bring a knife.

Bonnie: You can’t bring a knife to school! The district has a zero tolerance policy on knives!

Squirt: (rolls eyes) A plastic knife, Mom. Jeez!

Bonnie: I don’t think you’re allowed to bring plastic knives to school, either.

(Looks to Tiger for help)

Are you?

Tiger: Squirt, you can’t bring a knife to school. If you bring a plastic knife, you’ll get turned in. If you get turned in, you’ll have to go to the principal’s office. If you go to the principal’s office, he’ll lecture you. And if he lectures you, he’ll take the plastic knife AND JAB IT INTO YOUR CHEST.

Bonnie: Thanks, Tiger. (to Squirt) See?
