"We broke up."

My 6-year-old is a big fan of peanuts in the shell (or "crust" as he inexplicably calls it), so when we went to Five Guys (a burger place that has free peanuts) for lunch yesterday and he said he didn't want any, I was surprised. When I asked him why, he simply said, "We broke up." I laughed and asked him what that meant and he reminded me of the time not long ago when, after he loudly proclaimed his love for the snack, I retorted with the classic grade-school response, "Then why don't you marry 'em?" After all this time, I had no idea he took me seriously.
