A Bowl Substitute

I started this blog in part because I felt the need to give back. I am a huge blog reader. I like to regularly read multiple blogs and feel it is necessary in order to meet my need for quirky humor. See list of "Blogs I Dig." Dooce.com by Heather Armstrong is the one in particular that started this madness and the rest have resulted from there. It's mostly a group of women who blog about being a mom and the daily "joys" of this adventure. There is no handbook, all kids are different even under one roof and it's a true blessing to watch them develop. Point be proven in the following conversation that I had with Tim last night. Some days I would like to pry open their little minds to reveal the factory of crazy ideas and sayings that are produced inside their little brains.

Me: Tim, you want some ice cream?

Tim: Yeah

Me: You want it in a bowl or a cone?

Tim: Cone

Me: Are you going to eat the cone?

Tim: No

Me: Then why do you want one? Why not just use a bowl?

Tim: I don't know.

Me: How about I get you a bowl?

Tim: Fine, I'll eat the cone.

Me: (inside thoughts) What just happened? I changed his answer. How did I do that? Wonder if it works for homework too?
