It's the little things in life...

My daughter was sitting at breakfast this morning, eating her waffles in her purple princess nightgown and comes out with, "What foods are white?" Now, at 830 on a sunny Summer Friday, I shouldn't be answering questions like that. They require TOO MUCH THOUGHT. So I rattled off a few from the top of my head: mashed potatoes, cauliflwer, some beans, pasta. She says, "No, the stuff that I like. What is white that I like?" FINALLY! An easy question! I said, "Pasta." OK. We're good. I thought. "What's green that I like?" Phew! Another easy one. "Broccoli, green beans, basil." My son chimes in: "the water gun on the fridge is green!" But you can't eat it...."But it's green..." but you can't eat it. "But It's green." OK you win. No sense arguing with a 2 year old about a non-edible water gun.
When she was finished with her breakfast, she put her plate and orange juice cup on the counter and went in to get dressed. She came out SPOTTED! picture to follow...
I tell you...it's the little things like edible white and green foods that make my world go round....
