“Dead meat”

The girls had a great time and got really spoiled on our trip to see my parents. There were a lot of great moments, but one of the funniest happened in a car ride home from a restaurant. Camille got into trouble for screaming in the van, that blood-curdling shriek that shatters your ear drums. Then, I had to stop at a drug store to pick up something and she unbuckled her seat belt, which meant I had to climb over my parents in the middle row of the van to buckle her in the back seat. But then she did something else egregious on the way home from the drug store, unfortunately neither Susan nor I can remember what it was, but I told her she owed us pushups for the infraction. To that she said in a very sad and plaintive way, "Oh no, I’m dead meat now." Then she leaped into a rant about us eating her: "All of you are going to eat me!" She repeated it over and over the rest of the way home. We can’t make this stuff up.
