Oil Crisis

Daddy and Mummy were watching Frasier on the computer.  Sammy walks up to them:

Sammy: Daddy, you might die.

Daddy: (?!?!) What do you mean I might die?

Sammy: We are running out of oil.

Daddy: (At first thinking that Sammy was watching a documentary about the earth running out of oil, but: a) Sammy is 5 years old, b) They were watching ‘Surf’s Up!’) What do you mean oil?

Sammy: The oil we use to make food!

Mummy: Oh, you mean cooking oil?

Sammy: Yes! We have only very little left, and if we run out we cannot cook food anymore!

Daddy: If we run out of cooking oil we can just go to the grocery to buy more.

Sammy: (Relieved) Oh, phew!
