I Kiss Butter and other misunderstandings

Josh has learned to read and become really good at it.  However, he reads fast and guesses at a lot of words.  It is fine really, we all do it, it is just something you learn over time to read the words correctly.  So Josh was doing this today and it was really funny.

I have these magnets on the fridge.  They say "I kiss better than I cook" and "I'd give up chocolate, but I'm no quitter."  Josh and Caleb were playing in the kitchen and I overhear this:

Caleb: "Josh, can you read what this says?"
Josh: "Sure, um...'I kiss butter, than I cook.' What?  She kisses butter?  Then she cooks?"
Caleb erupts into little giggles.  "I have never seen her kiss butter!"

Several seconds go by with giggling and "kiss butter" being said.

Caleb: "So what does this one say?"
Josh: "I'd giiiive oh give, I'd give up chocolate, but I am no quieter.  Haha, no Mama doesn't get any quieter when she eats chocolate."
Caleb: "Yeah, she still talks a lot."

A little offensive, but very funny.  I don't think I will ever look at my magnets the same.
