Conversations with Dylan II
Me: What are you going to do with that magnifying glass?
Dylan: You can fry ants with them.
Me: Fry ants! Why would you want to do that? That's mean!
Dylan: I've seen it done before.
Me: I don't think God will like you frying ants with that.
Dylan: Why does God like ants so much?
Me: Why does God like you so much?
Dylan: (pausing to think) I don't know.
Me: Well, so what are you going to do with that magnifying glass?
Dylan: I don't know... I won't be frying ants with them...
