Pardon Me, Do You Have Any Grey Poupon?

First of all, I never buy baby food. I think it's pointless; it's so easy to make your own that's better. But someone gave me some, and Ellie needed to be occupied yesterday while I was making dinner. So I opened a bottle of Gerber pears and handed Joey a baby spoon and showed him how to spoon it into Ellie. It was perfect because they were both highly amused and then his attention span wore out at precisely the same time Ellie was tired of the pears.

So a couple hours later I'm cleaning the kitchen and I hear Sam open and shut the fridge. Then he comes to me holding a little jar and saying "I'm going to feed Ellie."

"Sorry, Sam, you have to be five to feed the baby." I take the jar away from him. It's not the pears, it's the dijon mustard!

One of the many many times I'm relieved I caught the kids before they followed through with their plans!
