This happened while I was in the kitchen making lunch the other day. C (my 5 year old): Grrrr (hilarious growling), grrrrGraaaaawl!!!!! Me: What are you doing, Honey? C: (very dramatically) GGGGGRRRRRrrrrrrr, Mom, oh no…..a porcupine….BEHIND YOU!!!! AAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHH! Me: What? A porcupine behind me? I didn’t know that porcupines growl like that. Thanks for warning me. C: Um-hum. Then, a moment later. Me: C, Honey, you need to eat your apple slices before you leave the table, okay? C: Mom, do you know what apples are for? Me: No, what do you think that they are for? (Thinking that I have absolutely NO idea what he is going to say.) C: Apples are for cleaning the crumbs out of your teef. Me: You’re right….they do clean crumbs out of your teeth. I never know what he is thinking about or what he is going to say.
