Roan was just here for lunch, because he isn’t supposed to eat any hard foods, and we didn’t have any soft foods to send with him to school. I planned to make him animal-shaped-pasta-in-a-can, but when he got here he had two soggy slices of cheese pizza. I suggested he just eat those, since clearly they weren’t very “hard”, and I made myself some cheese and crackers.

I asked about the girl he has a crush on (her name is Victoria), and what she thought of his tooth. He said she thought it was gross and told him to get it away from her then ran away. I asked if he was going to leave it here at home now, since everyone got to see it, and he said he might as well. He put it on the table and told me to make sure if anyone came over, I show it to them. I promised I would, then asked what time lunch started. His response – “5 minutes ago.”.  I looked at the clock and noticed it was 1:24, so I asked “Okay, but what time was it then?”. “One o’clock”, he said. I then asked “And what time does lunch end?”. First he said he didn’t know, then he thought about it and said “Well, lunch + outside = 2 o’clock”.

So this has me thinking of a new product idea. A clock with pictures, that a parent can customize their arrangement. So instead of numbers, it would have a sun in the 7:30am spot, then a cereal bowl at 7:45am, a toothbrush at 8am, a school bus at 8:30, and so on… I have no idea how you would do it, or if it would be counter productive to learning to actually tell time, but if someone wants to find all that out, then make it and give me credit, I’m okay with that. I’ll even show you Roan’s tooth.

Also, F.Y.I. – those aren’t “peace signs” we’re throwing up, those are pizza signs.

We love pizza.
