Brett and I were watching Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmerman the other day. The episode was set in New York and Andrew was at Carnegie Deli eating a tongue sandwich. Brett tells me he thinks that looks pretty good and would like to try it. He then asks me, "Where does the tongue come from?" I assume he is asking me what type of animal and reply "cow." He says, "No, what part of the animal is the tongue?" I give him my really look and say, "the tongue." It then dawns on him that it is really a tongue -- as in the thing in your mouth. The child is truly blond at heart and still on the honor roll. Luckily, he does not have an anatomy class.
Georgia has had her own adventure. Marnie gave her a new hair bow the other day. We think it gives her a certain Aunt Jemima look. She wore her bow without incident for most of the day. Later in the evening while we were waiting for Brett to get out of baseball camp, Georgia started her usual screaming because we were parked and not moving - or so I thought that was why she was crying. It was dark and I really couldn't see her well. When Brett came out and put his bag in the back of the car, he discovered the real problem. Poor baby had knocked her bow into her eyes and then finally gave up and went to sleep since her mother was not going to be of any help. I now make sure to check on any cry even if I think I know the cause.
