Spooning
Some people in this family pay attention to detail. Others don’t.
I always thought I was one of the ones who did.
Apparently,… I was wrong.
*****************************
“Mommy, I’m hungee. May I haf a snack?”
“Sure. What would you like to have for a snack?”
“Spoons.”
“Spoons? Uh… I don’t think you can actually eat spoons. Would you like a snack you need a spoon for?”
“No. I want Spoons.”
“Okay, do you want a snack or do you want to play with spoons?”
“I want to eat Spoooooooooons.”
“But you can’t eat spoons?”
“How comes? But dey right there!”
*points finger at leftover Halloween candy bucket (Um, I have NO idea who would leave something like that out)*
“Honey, there are no spoons you can eat in here.”
“Yes there are!”
“Where? Where do you see spoons in there?”
“Here Mommy!”
Freaking Betty Crocker.
sharp as tacks these kids are.

Product branding works! Isn’t that what all the marketing gurus are always trying to tell us?
But I sure wish it didn’t work quite so well on little ones…

kids can do that to you…they are so smart to figure out a way to let you know what they are wanting. there is always a logic behind them. you have to admit it can keep you on your toes….

Kids are hilarious. Amazing what they figure out at a very young age.
I voted yesterday and plurk’d it before I even read your post (I saw what you wrote on facebook…)
I almost called my hubs at work to get him to vote too. Wish I could vote more than once…

I’m amazed by what kids say. As for me, I’m a mean mommy, I never buy fruit snacks for my children. But, we do get them in goody bags and for Halloween treats. See, I told you we have a lot in common, I still have our Halloween candy too.

Thanks for your comment! It helps to have some validation when you’re hoping you’re heading the right way! I completely agree that she has plenty of years to dislike school. I know y’all will do the right thing with Babisodes as well. Kids are only kids for such a short time. Why not maximize it for them!

And we leave our Halloween pumpkin out year round … it holds our foamy stickers! And since our living room basically got coopted by the kid, I figure “Why not … there are Legos all over the floor anyway!”

Oh, that’s amazing of her to have noticed that. I remember my little cousin who was three or four I guess. He noticed that the car in front of us didn’t have its lights on, and got angry haha!. We adults in the car didn’t even pay attention because the car was a good distance away.

This is way too funny… and I DID vote, but I guess it’s one of those one vote kind of places. I mean, that’s the way it should be, but so much voting these days is based on how many times you can get your vote in.
