Izzy's current interests:
1. Frying up a hamster for dinner.
(I explained that we normally don't eat things that have names.....like a pet)
2. Next time we go camping, to BBQ a mouse on a stick rather than a veggie dog or a marshmallow.
I'm not sure where he gets these ideas, however, Izzy is quite persistent in trying them. Case and point......the other day at our local Mercantile restaurant for lunch.
Me: "Izzy, what would you like for lunch?"
Izzy: "Hamster."
Me: "Would you like it fried or baked?"
Izzy: "Fried."
Me: "Hmmmm..." (looking at menu) "they don't have hamster on the menu today."
Izzy: "Don't they have any in the back?"
Silence.....................................................................
Me: "Ummmm....no."
Izzy: "I'll take chicken nuggets with ranch and french fries with ketchup today, but could you ask our waitress if the chef could add hamster to his menu?"
Silence......................(I am completely dumbfounded)
Izzy: "MOM? COULD YOU ASK THE WAITRESS IF THE CHEF COULD ADD HAMSTER TO THE MENU?"
Me: "Well um..yes, of course."
Please. Dear God. Tell me your three-year-old acts/acted this way. I need some reassurance right now.
