Little C: (terribly excited) Hey! There is that giant letter M that Ronald McDonald threw out of his pocket and they stuck it on that pole!! Right there!
Big C: Um, Little C, he didn't really do that, you know.
Little C: Yes he did! It was in his pocket and he threw it with magic.
Big C: No, that is just the Mythology of McDonald's. Ronald is an advertisement.
(Then nothing but silence until we got home. Crushing imagination and spirits: all in a day's work for Literal Boy.)
