Saturday mornings were, generally speaking, for sleeping in as long as possible (which really isn't that long, given that he's got work today). Well, or for random transformation-related weirdness to strike the island, but right now Bridge is unaware of anything like that occuring and so there's just the sleeping.

Xander frowns thoughtfully. "Is that what don't get smart with me means?"

Bridge's frown is less thoughtful and more just frowny. "Who said that?"

[needsaparrot]

Xander shrugs. "My Dad. Sometimes teachers."

Yeah, Xander's dad? So off the list right now. Not that he'd ever really been on it, but if he had that would've pushed him off. "That's not- not the kind of thing grownups should say to kids," is all he says.

Xander shrugs again. "It's okay. Sometimes I talk when I'm not s'posed to and stuff 'cause I think of something really funny and I forget."

"Hmmm," Bridge says, *now* frowning thoughtfully as he makes one final bounce to get himself off the bed. "How about I make you a deal?"

Xander, still clad in the same duckie pajamas he went to sleep in... just slightly less of them...rolls over and slides off the edge of the bed, then looks up at Bridge.

"Okay!" he answers immediately. "What?"

"If you think of something funny, I wanna know about it too. Don't worry about whether you're supposed to talk or not, okay?" Bridge says. "Cause as far as I'm concerned, there's no such thing as 'Xander's not supposed to talk' time."

"Not even if there's a pock-lips happening?" He's not entirely sure what a pock-lips is, but he's fairly sure somebody said they were Xander don't talk times.

"Not even then," Bridge says, holding out pyjama-mittened-hand for Xander to take.

"Okeydokey!" Xander grabs his hand and tugs him towards the kitchen, then pauses in the doorway. "Hey, I thought of something funny!"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"Yeah?" Bridge says as he lets himself be dragged. "What's that?"

[needsaparrot]

"What do veteg-- veggie-tarian zombies eat?"

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

"I dunno, what?"

[needsaparrot]

"Graiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiins!" Xander groans dramatically.

[bridge-carson.livejournal.com]

Which causes Bridge to crack up because that is seriously cute on top of being a cheesily funny joke. "I hope *you* haven't turned in to a vegetarian zombie," he says. "Cause I think grains for breakfast means the really boring kinds of cereal and that's not on today's menu."

[needsaparrot]

"Choklit graaaaaaains!"
