Yesterday while I was on the phone, Colton
Colton aka: Moose, Duece, Colt, CJ
Age: 3
Favorite Word: Fart
Hobbies: Playing in the dirt, setting off fire alarms at preschool and bossing people around.
Best Qualities: The sweetest disposition this side of the Mississippi. decided he wanted a lemon. In an effort to appease him so I could continue my conversation, I handed him one. "Not just to look at", he said. "I want to get the juice out and drink it." Um, I'll call you back.
I gave one good old college try at convincing him that the lemons do not taste good and he wasn't going to like it. "Yes I will," he insisted. Okee dokee then. I got out my cutting board, sliced a lemon open and handed it over.

"Are you sure you want to drink this?" I asked. "I am telling you it is going to taste REALLY icky."
"It isn't icky," he said, "I love lemons."
Down the hatch.

Wait for it. Wait for it.

BAM.

Nice mom. Real nice.
And then because he is my kid and HELLS NO he will not be proven wrong.

"I loved it."
