Dinner

"What's that pokey thing in your shirt?"
"Oh dear, it looks like my under-wire is coming out."
During an afternoon game of Candy Land, I pulled it out. He was amazed. The coolest thing ever. It made a re-appearance at dinner tonight.
He pulled it out of nowhere and started using it as a FORK.

Dinner2

From there, it went right on his head like a headband.
I don't know what's more amazing: that he used it as a fork, or that it fit on his head (with room to spare)
Thank you ancestors for blessing me so bountifully.

    *********Dinner last night was brown rice & stir fry and Henry & Kate both had an extra side of tofu. The firm tofu was the perfect texture for sliding on the underwire- LOL!*********
