Making Lemonade

July 19, 2011 by OneMommy

So there we were, all in the kitchen.  My dear husband was trying to make salmon patties from instructions I was giving him.   (He likes to learn how to cook, and I’m all for it!)  There were a few saltine cracker crumbs on the counter where our preschooler was busy helping Daddy by stirring the pink lemonade.

He had given her a tablespoon, so she was only stirring the top portion of the pitcher.  I didn’t realize he had done this on purpose, and I made a comment about how she couldn’t really stir it right with that spoon.

Then I noticed a “floaty” on top (probably a cracker crumb by the looks of it).  “Oh, there’s a floaty.  I bet that will make it taste good,” I said jokingly.  Then I  borrowed her spoon to fish it out.  After I tossed it in the sink, Peanut began to cry.

“What’s wrong?” asked her Daddy.

“Now the lemonade isn’t going to taste good,” she cried between tears.

“Why?” he asked.

I expected her to be upset because I had mentioned her spoon wasn’t able to really stir it and she thought the lemonade needed stirred more.

What I wasn’t expecting was, “Mommy took the floaty out!”

I couldn’t help laughing on that one – one of the many reasons I love my kids.

    Funny how that didn’t get the reaction you were thinking it would. Kids are funny sometimes, that is precious!
