I'm going to make you dinner.

:::A window into the way my brain works:::

Someone said, "I'm going to make you dinner."

A typical human might understand that statement to mean, "I am going to make some dinner for you to eat."

I hear, "I'm going to make you dinner."

So what? you might say (or think, if you're not in the habit of verbalizing such things)

Well, think about this: "I'm going to make steak dinner."

Except replace "steak" with "you."

Apply broadly: "You know, Steve's a nice guy. I should make Steve dinner sometime."

Too bad Steve won't be able to personally enjoy it.

Lost? They're going to eat Steve for dinner. Least, that's what I heard.

I don't want to break my perfect comment record but I can't think of a thing to say to that.

No comment.
