Random conversations with the boy part 8

At 3 in the morning. (Aren't the best ones always at 3 in the morning?)

J: Mummy, does Slimer live with the Ghostbusters?
M: Yes, in the cartoon he does.
J: And he is the Ghostbusters' friend?
M: Yes, in the cartoon he is.
J: I like Slimer.

*Ten second pause while I start to drift off to sleep*

J: Mummy, do the Ghostbusters live in a firehouse?
M: Yes, they do.
J: But they don't live in a firestation?
M: No.
J: And Slimer lives in the firehouse too?
M: Yes, in the cartoon he does.
J: I like Slimer.

*Twenty second pause where I actually experience at least two snores*

J: Mummy, when we go on holiday, can we bring sandwiches for a picnic?
M: Yes, I'll make sandwiches when we are away.
J: And I'll have four, because I'm four and daddy will have 36 because he is 36 and you can have 21 because you are 21. (NB: I love my child.)
M: That's a good idea.
J: We can have ham and tuna and juice to drink.
M: Good idea.
J: Does Slimer eat sandwiches?
M: Yes, in the cartoon he does.
J: I like Slimer.
