See What You Just Did?
Food Emporium, Wednesday, 8PM, UES
6 Year-Old Girl: I hate this place! Why do we have to come here!
Dad: How do you think all that food gets to our kitchen? Magic?
6 Year-Old Girl: Well, I'm gonna wish that every night everybody's kitchen fills up with food so nobody has to ever come here ever ever ever again!
Dad: OK. And then there won't be any more farms, or any more cows or sheep or chickens, and all the people in all the grocery stores in all of the world won't have any place to work and they'll all die. See what you just did?
