An honest child

Me: want chip?
Charlie: yah, want chip!
Me: (gives Charlie 3 tortilla chips, starts to put 4th chip in my own mouth)
Charlie: No mine! (grabs my chip, but lets me take one of his)
Me: ok whatever.
Charlie: (eats two chips, then proceeds to take hot-wheels cars and drive over third chip several times until it's smashed.)
Me: ok, that's enough mess (clears away mess).
Charlie: want cracker!
Me: are you going to eat the cracker, or are you going to smash it with your cars?
Charlie: 'mash car.
Me: well, sorry, no cracker.

eee! I love Charlie when he's being adorable! TRM, it's been a while since the last picspam, hasn't it?

Hee hee hee.

Also, driving a toy car over a chip produces such a satisfying crackly sound that I still respond to this 40+ years later with glee.

Ohh cute!

Mati will not eat chips unless he can also feed me. I need to sit there and pre-bite all his chips.

Charlie likes to feed me stuff too, before he's willing to try it himself, which is sometimes complicated by our unshared allergies. He will also try to pry my mouth open to see what's going on when I'm chewing, which makes me feel a bit like a mama bird.

Hee! They often are at this age. M runs up to tell me of his transgressions. "Mommy! I "

Just wait till he finds out Cheetos are flammable. (Yes, that was my youngest child's science fair project one year.)
