The World's Worst Pick Up Line

Brian was excited and nervous about his first day of Kindergarten, and it showed in our conversation on the way. He jumped from talking excitedly to nervous silence and back several times. We got this gem, though, which I'm still giggling over.

Brian: (after a period of silence) Europe.
Me: What about Europe, honey?
Brian: What is Europe? Is there a state named Europe? A city?
Me: Europe is a continent.
Brian: What's a continent?
Me: It's a larger area of land than a state or a country.
Brian: Oh, okay. Your name is Europe.
Me: huh?
Brian: You look like a Europe. Your name is Europe.
Me: Um, okay...
Brian: Syrup.
Me: (confused silence)
Brian: You are syrup, mommy.
Me: I am?
Brian: Yes, you are syrup - you're so good I want to put you on a pancake.
Me: (Uncontrollable giggles for the remainder of the ride.)

I hope that by the time he actually has a need to woo someone outside of his mother, his pick up lines get better.
