Commas Save Lives

The following conversation took place at my house this morning:

Me: "Eat, Daniel!! Finish your breakfast!"
Daniel: "It's a good thing for commas, Mom."
Me: "Huh?"
Daniel: "You said, 'Eat, Daniel!' If it weren't for that comma, you'd have just told Crisper to eat me. See..? Commas save lives."

This was pre-coffee so it took a full minute for this to register in my caffeine-deprived brain. As I was standing there blinking in confusion, Daniel patted my arm and said, "You'll get it later, Mom."

She who laughs last thinks slowest, right? LOL
