Three year olds are nothing if they are not literalists. Combine that with the fact that we are doing our best to raise an empowered child who does not have to be waited on hand and foot and this is what you get.
Yep. That's a brick of cheese with a little boy chomp out of it. I was getting lunch on the other day, and since Hubs is laid up with his arm, I have a little less help and a little more work than usual. So the cheese was up on the counter when the Little Dude said, "Mama, I can have some cheese?", and I said, "sure you can sweetheart." Meaning, yes you can have some cheese, just give me a second while I come over there and cut a piece off for you. But before I knew it I turned around and he was busily helping himself. With his mouth.
Look at that bite! If this was a crime scene, I'm sure we could get a positive ID from these bite marks. Especially if the crime was being a cheese stealer. Anyhow, I got to him before bite number two, and took the cheese right out of his hands, and he gave me the funniest confused look, as if to say, "What's the problem here? You said I could have some."
Cheese eating little literalist.
