This morning,
an adventurous black ant
climbed my countertop
to descend into a flowered bowl
and sip the sweet nectar of peach juice
left there by my child.
Would that I were so bold—
to ascend the table of a giant
and drink from the sweet cup of life!
Tonight my toddler came up with his own recipe. Impressive, right?
“What a little chef!” exclaims Grandma over the internet. “Un petit gourmét!” coos a French food connoisseur who stumbled unwittingly into Crazy Land.
But wait! Before your hearts swell with pride at the culinary prowress of my two year old, read what it is he made. A very simple recipe, with 4 steps:
1. Pick up baby bowl of fruit salad.
2. Dump into little bowl of alphagetties.
3. Add a cup of berry punch.
4. Laugh. Repeat in reverse order…ish. Laugh more.
Of course his four big sisters loved the performance, which only aggravated the èncores….
Sigh….well, at least he likes to help with the dishes!
