Xander Week 89 – He Has A Palate!
August 22, 2008
Xander playing with playdough
I think once kids start talking every parent has stories about the cute or silly or sometimes shocking things their kids say. I can remember laughing until I had tears rolling down my face with some of the things that my nieces and nephew came out with when they were toddlers. Of course, I would be hard pressed to reacall any of those stories these days. I suspect that some people find the cute stories about their friends or co-workers kids to be tedious. On the other hand, that’s pretty much all this blog is, so I’m assuming anyone coming here doesn’t mind hearing about my kid’s cute or funny stories.
A few weeks ago Zach, Xander and I went to visit some friends in the next town over. As we got in the car, I asked Zach if we should bring some extra juice for Xander. We were going for dinner and to visit so it would be several hours before we returned. Zach thought that there would be plenty of juice at the house. But, Xander would be the only child there, and I worried that the juice available might be cranberry or something else that might not suit Xander’s palate. Zach responded that Xander wasn’t even 2 – he liked pretty much everything we’ve presented to him so far – he doesn’t have a palate.
Then a little voice piped up from the back seat, “I have a palate!” Zach and I looked at each other, speechless for a moment before we burst into laughter. We stand corrected, apparently our son does have a palate…
Sara,
I love stories about funny things kids say. I even like to read those funny books about the world according to kids. Keep the stories coming!
