Do you know what I would do if I were a GROWN-UP?

This was the contemplative question I overheard Four ask one of his friends the other day. It caught my attention, so I perked up my ears waiting for his response... Would he say, "I'd help solve the economic crisis!", or "I'd minister to the poor.", or even "I'd buy my mom and dad a new motorhome so they could travel ALL over the US visiting my brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews."?

After a pregnant pause to make sure his friend was paying attention, Four said in all seriousness..  "Um, I'd take this here ice cream (oh, forgot to mention we were in McD's eating soft serve ice cream at the time.  Hey! Nothin' but the best for my kids, you know...)  and then I'd take this here cup and go fill it with root beer, add the ice cream and then I'd have my very own ROOT BEER FLOAT!  That's what I'D do if I were a grown up!"    I shouldn't have been surprised, after all, it's certainly not the first time food was the topic of conversation.
