The Difference Between TV and Reality

Yesterday when I picked Ben up from school he greeted me with one of his usual questions: "Did you get me anything at the store today?"
"I got you chocolate and vanilla protein shakes [Pediasure]," I told him.
"Did you get me orange juice?"
"No."
"Did you get me cherry juice?"
"I don't think there's any such thing as cherry juice," I told him.
"But Mom! On Max and Ruby they have cherry juice," he informed me.
"Yes, but Max and Ruby are also talking rabbits."
"I know that, Mom! But they also have cherry juice!" he said with exasperation, the point entirely missed.
