Breakfast Conversation
This morning as he was eating his Malt-O-Meal, totally out of the blue Kellen said, "Pets, dogs, cats. And lions." Now the boy is obsessed with animals, so this was nothing special. The funny part was his reaction to my question, "Lions are pets?" He looked at me as if he had known that I was slightly dim-witted but didn't know the full extent of my handicap until now (I guess this is the universal child-to-parent look). Then he said, very slowly, "No, lions are wild animals. Tigers are wild, too." OK, I'm glad to have that cleared up.

he sounds so much like you... funny, smart, and analytical! And how in the world do you get your kids to eat malt-o-meal? Mine wont go near the stuff!
Maybe it's genetic, because we ate malt-o-meal quite a bit growing up and I still like it. Quick, easy & lots of vitamins.
Well, I certainly DON'T put butter and sugar in it. That would be way unhealthy. (I hope you can see the sarcasm.)
Mmmm, yum! Maltomeal...Brenden (my weird eater-child) used to sneak it from the box! He'd come out of the pantry with it caked around his mouth. Now, I like Maltomeal but that's just gross!
