Soylent Green

Dear Caden,

"Momma, what are we eating for dinner tonight?"

"I'm not quite sure Caden."

"So we aren't eating beans tonight?"

"No sweetheart, no beans tonight."

"Good. We're not eating humans tonight."

No matter how many times I have tried to explain it, you still think it is human beans and not beings. I think I should start to come up with a good explanation for the future in the event I get asked why my son is telling his teachers he is eating people.  Last I checked, we were out of soylent green.

Love,
Mommy

Beans

Dear Caden,

"Momma! I love beans!"

"Really? Since when? You always whine when I serve them for dinner."

"No, no,  no! I like them!"

"So the next time I give them to you, you will eat them with no complaints?"

"Gross! No!"

"But you just said..."

"No momma! Like red beans, and white beans and blue beans and human beans! We don't eat human
beans!"

"True. We aren't cannibals and it is a felony."

"...but we can eat jelly beans!"

Love,
Mommy

Frogs, Fish and Tinkers

Dear Caden,

The other night you and Jacob were splashing around in the bathtub. You decided to go "swimming" in the 4 inches of water filled with bubbles and toys. Jacob is happily grabbing the toys, lifting them up and excitedly telling us what they are.

"Fog!"
"Yes, frog!"
"Fish!"
"Yes, fish!"
"Tinka!
"Ummm, yes- that is Caden's tinker....

On a side note, I think you learned your lesson on swimming face up with Jacob in the tub.

Love,
Mommy
