He's onto Jake

Malachy and Jake were sitting together having breakfast. As is their routine, Malachy asks Jake for orange juice (he doesn't even bother asking me for juice unless we are at a party). At some point in their conversation, Malachy asked what orange juice is. It went something like this:

M: "Daddy, what IS orange juice."

J: "It's when you take an orange and squeeze it and then the juice comes out. You catch the juice and drink it. That's orange juice."

M, with a look of total disbelief: "No daddy, that's not it."

J: "Yes, yes! That is what it is."

They went back and forth like this for a while with Jake explaining a few times how you get the juice from the orange.

I find this exchange hysterical because:

A) Orange juice seems like one of those things that it is obvious what it us...unless you are 2 I suppose

B) Malachy has figured out that Jake is full of you-know-what most of the time, so his gut reaction is to not believe anything that does not make sense to him.

C) The ending of the conversation was the best:

M: "Well, what's is milk then?"
