I am just completely adore the Little Boy. I'm sure if you've read this blog at all you know that, but as he grows and he's thoughts grow in complexity, I love hearing what he has to say.  As you may also know I have wheat intolerance. Wheat affects my stomach the same way, a bottle of tequila affects ones stomach. So the Little Boy has been raised knowing this. He has a allergy to cherry flavoring and red dyes so he knows it's important to look out for things you are allergic too. I also happen to have a intolerance to milk. The Little Boy knows this to, but doesn't exactly know why. Anyhow so Saturday morning and I sleep in, so I got up around 6:15am, the Little Boy is already up and has the TV turned on to his channel for Krypto the Superdog. However Krypto doesn't come on till 7am. Yet he was willing to sit through 45 minutes of informercials to see his cartoon. I have to say I am very proud of that kind of dedication to Saturday morning cartoons. So he's there, a informercial for an Oreck vacuum is on the TV and the Little Boy has a glass in his hand. I ask him, "whatca drinkin'?", to which he answers "Wheat Milk.", I ask him again, "so what are you drinking", he replies "you know Wheat Milk, the milk you can't drink in the big jug, Wheat Milk". It was everything I could do to not laugh out loud, he had put together, that if I wasn't drinking it, it must have wheat in it!

Another example of his brilliance. Last night, my Beautiful Wife was under the weather. So he suggest that we buy her some flowers. A great idea of course. But I tell him, well I think she'd like it more if we just made dinner to night.  Then he looks me right in the eyes, holds his little hand up with his index finger raised in that I have an idea kind of way and says, "I have an idea, why don't we just do everything she says!". I told him I thought that was a great idea, truth be told, it was brilliant! He's six and he already gets it.

Happy Cooking
