Kids Say the Darnedest Things, Part 3

Mason said so many cute things this weekend that I just had to post a new edition of Kids Say the Darnedest Things. At dinner last night Adam said we should really be writing all these cute things down - lest he forget that's exactly what I'm doing on this blog!

Masonism #1: Adam's new TV addiction is the AMC series The Walking Dead.  As I was cleaning up in the kitchen last night, Adam flipped over to watch a few minutes of this show.  Mason looked up at the TV and told Adam matter-of-factly, "Daddy, this isn't for me."  My smart little boy! 

Masonism #2: Adam made a delicious chicken and gnocchi soup for dinner, and used half potato gnocchi (that are white) and half wheat gnocchi (that are brown).  So Mason sits down to eat and looks in his bowl, and exclaims, "Gnocchi!" Yes, our child has quite the food vocabulary already.  But he scooped up a brown gnocchi and asked what it was.  When we told him it was gnocchi too, he said, "No, that's Hundley."  Anyone who watches Curious George with their kid knows what he meant by that.  (George is friends with a white cat named Gnocchi and a brown dog named Hundley.) 

I just love that everything is so straight-forward with children.  Things either are or they aren't, and everything is one or the other.  Someday he'll develope a gray area, but it's kind of refreshing to see the world in black and white through his eyes.
