Pancakes & French Fries

Favorite Moment

The best laid plans of mice and man often go awry. (To a Mouse. —Robert Burns)

Speaking of mice and plans going awry…

Yesterday I had planned to write down my recipe for my Famous-Only-in-my-House Portobello Mushroom Burgers. I figured a preschool friendly vegetarian recipe is always a bonus, right? Maybe next week, because this week I was too busy laughing my head off. Why? Imagine my surprise when I unwrapped the cheese I planned to use for the burgers and saw this:

So Cheesy

Hi. My name is Mikey. I was sick. I wasn’t hungry. I’m better now. I am hungry. Cheese is good. I think I’ll go bite into a brick of cheddar.
Go ahead and click on it. You’ll go to my flickr page and there you will be able to enlarge the image. Go ahead. I’ll wait.

Are you back? Did you notice that smudge in the upper right hand corner? Do you know what that is? IT’S GLITTER. My cheese has glittery bite marks.

I really don’t think I can top this. I think I just need to admit that there is no better favorite moment. I’m debating just shutting down the entire blog and calling this my final post. I mean, cheese with glitter and indentation marks? You can’t make this stuff up.

Mouse in the House

One last picture of the cheese from a different angle, because this had The Mister and I laughing hysterically. It’s a brick of cheddar. This is no meager Kraft Single. How hungry was he? Where was I? And what does so much cheese taste like all at once? There are so many questions that will never be answered.

The crap. The glitter. The dog kibble. The cheese. I love it. As crazy as it sounds, I really do. I can’t wait until Nicholas is old enough to charge through the world making chili and fruit salad while eating bricks of cheese. For now, I’ll just snuggle him and wait with a smile on my face–and a drink in my hand.

    It’s true, as crazy as the stories goes… you cannot make it up and you just have to live in the moment and savor every single moment because they grow up so fast.

    Happy Friday, glitter and all! :-)

    See now I’m back to wanting to be a mommy. I just love to read your stories. You have such a great perspective on thigs. Maybe you should hold on to that glittered cheese idea, it might make a great holiday gift.

    Well he does love Mickey Mouse after all. Isn’t it logical he would love cheese as well? Hehe. I personally love the fact he got the cheese, unwrapped the cheese, ate the cheese, wrapped the cheese back up, and never said a word.
    I wish he was in my preschool class. I would have so much fun with him. What an imagination!

    Just the bite marks had me smiling and then you mentioned that glitter! Hahaha! That’s so great!

    When we have similar moments like that, I would give any amount of money to be a fly on the wall and just watch while they do their little secret deeds. So cute!

    It’s those little moments/things that catch you completely off guard and make you laugh that make parenting so much fun. Glitter cheese….that’s a winner!

    Jules-this is great! Mikey is quite a character. This reminds me of our own family cheese story…my brother was (and is) a cheese FANATIC so my mom would hide the cheese. One night when he was about 5 he went to the fridge and opened it and said (natural as you please)”Where the hell is the cheese?”…

    I’m glad you guys found it as funny as I did. :) I’ve come back to this post a few times to reread it just for the chuckle it gives me.

    Patricia–I would have loved to be a fly on the wall, too!

    Kendra–the teachers say Mikey is “busy” as school. Which, as you know, is code for “hyper as crap.” But, whenever I talk about disciplining him they always say “No, no, no! Don’t try change his personality!” They think he’s a blast, but you have to stay on your toes. ;)

    Cara–that’s so funny! I bet your parents were trying hard not to laugh!

    Seriously, that is the funniest thing EVER. My goodness, he’s a wonderful little guy to give his mom such great bloggy stories to tell.

    I don’t think you have to close down the blog – with that kind of mischievous genius he must only be getting started.

    OMG…! So funny.
    The best part is, you had to unwrap it. He obviously took great care in the bite then wrapped it back up for future sparkly snacking goodness : )
