I’m in the kitchen, starting dinner.
Eli comes inside after playing outdoors for a few hours.
“Mom — I am starving! What can I have to eat?”
“I don’t know…I’m making dinner. Just have a cracker or something…”
“How about a piece of bread?”
“Sure. Fine. Have some bread.”
“I don’t know why I love it so much, but lately I just love having a piece of bread for a snack.”
(Pause)
“I’m like a duck or something…” muttering as he walks away, with a mouth full of bread.
Good heavens, that child cracks me up!
