Does McDonalds deliver?

One of the kids in the daycare is a two year old boy. All he thinks about is food. Now I understand that this statement could be percieved as somewhat of an over-exagerration. Generally speaking, most two year olds and especially two year old boys think a lot about food. But I think this guy is different.

Friday, I was in charge of the daycare while Angie and my three girls went to the Evansville Children's choir rehearsal. We encourage the imagination in our daycare, and try to keep toys on hand to spur this on. We have several old phone handles that the kids play with, and they can be regularly seen talking with their "mommy" or "daddy" on the phone. I think this next paragraph proves that all he thinks about is food.

The first time I saw him on the phone, he was talking with his mom and he said, "are you comin' to get me? (slight pause) Are you bringing food?" Now before we go any further, please keep in mind that the child just had an afternoon snack and Angie follows the USD guidelines when preparing meals, so he has had plenty to eat...seconds if he wants. Well, the very next time I saw him on the phone, he was calling McDonalds to order take out. He was asking them to deliver some chicken nuggets and some french fries and some cokes. I am assuming that the imaginary counter person at McDonalds told him that the delivery would be there shortly as he ended the call with the standard "thanks."
