Feeding The Battery Monster

Have you ever had a conversation with one of your children that just struck you as funny? We had one of these yesterday.
TJ – I need to speak to you about my battery needs.
me – Your what?
TJ – My battery needs.
me (after I stop giggling) – What battery needs?
TJ – We need more batteries. I have to keep switching batteries from one thing to another.
me – Did you look in the refrigerator?
TJ – Yes but there are none in there.
me – We had two 8 packs.
TJ – Yeah, I know but I used them.
me (huh? 16 batteries in less than two weeks? speechless for a moment.) – Are you eating them?
TJ – You’re not funny Mom.
me – I’m not trying to be funny, I’m trying to figure out where the batteries went.
TJ – All of my stuff NEEDS batteries. I NEED batteries.
me – I NEED to know that what things we NEED and why we NEED them in order to buy them.
TJ – Oh yeah, I guess you do.
Apparently he feels he needs batteries about as much as we know we need replacement windows.
