An interesting conversation with a 4-year old.

Okay, so last night after Jace had already been in bed for about half an hour I could hear him banging against his headboard, so I went in to tell him to hold still and go to sleep. He asked me to lay by him for a minute so I got in his bed. We layed there for a couple of minutes and I could hear him very, very quietly talking to himself (this kid's mind goes 300 mph ALL THE TIME). I asked him to be quiet and this is when our hilarious (at least to me) conversation began. He said "Mom, when I get big I'm going to make a pie big enough to fit a dinosaur bone in it". (?????) So I asked him what gave him that idea and he said "You did. You have recipes to make anything". Laughing to myself, I said "Do you like the food that mommy cooks?'' (most of you know that cooking is not my greatest skill). He said "yes". I then said, "Is there anything that you don't like?" wondering if there was something I made that he didn't like. He promptly responded, "I don't like going to bed". That is a 4 year-old mind for you. So I said, "No, I mean is there some food that mommy makes that you don't like". He said, "I don't like stuffing". Just a little insight to add to the story - On Thanksgiving Day he was so excited all day long to have stuffing at dinner (I don't think he had had it before), but at dinner he took one bite and spit it out. Anyway, he said, "The next time we have Thanksgiving, REMIND ME I DON'T LIKE STUFFING!". I said okay and went to bed laughing to myself for several minutes. I can't believe the things that must go on in his head to come up with some of the things he does.

And yes, his shirt says "MY MOM RULES!". That's because I have recipes to make ANYTHING. Maybe for Christmas dinner I'll try Dinasaur Pie!
