Breakfast choices

Conversation at breakfast:

Sarah, the three year old: "Mommy I'm hongry, I want eggs." (yes I put an 'O' in there on purpose, that's how she says it.)

Me: "OK, but I gotta cook them first."

Sarah has donned her bib and gotten a fork and is bouncing up and down beside me while I cook scrambled eggs. She sits at the table while I bring her a plate of eggs.

Sarah: "Mommy, I don't want eggs."

Me: "Yes you do. You asked for eggs. Do you want some ketchup?"

Sarah: "No, I don't want the eggs."

Me: "Well, do want this cereal?" (I had poured some dry cereal in a bowl for her earlier)

Sarah: "No I don't want cereal."

Me, letting out a deep sigh,: "Sarah, what do you want?"

Sarah: " I want cat food."

That is so funny. It is those moments that you will remember long after they have grown up. I just wish I had kept a record of all the "funny" things my boys said and did when they were little. I'm sure I could have written a book.

She ended up eating one bite of eggs, dumping the cereal on top of them, then feeding it to the dog. I was taking a shower and dh was otherwise occupied...

I think what makes this even funnier is that it directly comes after your food snob post ;)
