John and Seth are going to a Royals' game later this month. After hearing Daddy talk about the plans, Colin became weepy. Colin has said before that he doesn't like going to the baseball game. After further discussion he admits that what he's really upset about is the fact that Seth and Daddy will probably eat hotdogs.
John was trying to make him feel better and told him that maybe Mommy would do something fun with him that day. John said, "What do you think you and mommy will do?"
Colin moped and said, "Stay at home and eat zucchini."
John and I chuckled under our breath. John said, "Does Mommy have enough money to buy some hotdogs?"
"No," Colin said quietly.
"She doesn't? What did she do with all her money?"
"She broke it."
"Broke it? Colin, Why didn't you tell me sooner?"
"I don't know."
I asked Colin what he might like to do that day. He gave me three options...laser tag, going to the movie theater (Theater is said with emphasis on every sound like he's British. That's how the boys say that word, always. I love it and will be sad when they realize that's not how other people say it.), or going out for pizza and renting a movie. You might notice, as I did, that none of these options include eating hotdogs.

| This was on another mommy and Colin date a while back. Look how much fun he's having. Yet, Starbucks with Mommy didn't make the list. Shocking! |
