Lunch according to a 4 year old

Kaya: Mom, can we go to Mc Carl's Jr. for lunch?

Me: Do you mean Carl's Jr? Maybe, We need to go pick up Logan first.

Kaya: Can we go to the Carl's Jr. by Panda's?

Me: No, that's too far to drive today.

Kaya: Can we go to the Carl's Jr. by the haircut place?

Me: No. Not today.

Kaya: Well, then how about we just go to McDonald's.

Note: My kids aren't even interested in eating 90% of the time. All they really want to do is go and play in the play yards. When you have the extreme cold weather in the winter and the extra hot weather in the summer, you find cheap places to go just to get the kids out of the house. I don't even have to buy them anything! (But this conversation tells you a little too much about how often we frequent the play areas - especially when there are 3 different Carl's Jr.'s within about 5 miles of our house.) Having the backyard done has cut down on our visits to public play areas, but the kids still ask to go there now and again.

In summer it is the same way here. playplaces in the mall and fast food joints are a life saver in 115 degree heat.
