Thing 2 was upset about a fight with Thing 1.  I was cuddling her on the couch and talking her down.  I started telling her what an amazing cute darling baby she was.  We chatted for a while. She kept asking me to tell her more.  I exhausted nearly every story I could think of off hand.  Finally she asked me what she ate.  I told her “Milk for about 6 months.  Then you ate a kind of rice cereal stuff."  
She said, “Burger?”
I’m thinking to myself you're five years old, you're capable of putting in the other little words in this sentence, the “Did I eat a” … part!  But I said, “No, honey, babies don’t eat hamburgers.”
She said something about she saw on TV that if you have a baby, you need Burger.
“!! Oh… you mean Gerber!”  
Just the sort of thing I would have mixed up myself.  I laughed pretty hard.
