Confessions of a Dietitian's Wife and other bits of Randomness

Okay, here goes, I have to admit it. I love white pasta. A lot. And as I dug it out of the back of the pasta section (yes it has a section) of my pantry I realized that I'm a closet white pasta eater. The first step is admitting it, right? So I took a picture of the box after I started cooking the portion I am now eating. When my family is eating pasta I serve I get the healthy stuff. You know, either whole wheat or Barilla brand that is better for you than the "Enriched Spaghetti Product". I don't eat "Pastuerized Processed Cheese Food" but I love white pasta. I suppose this probably wouldn't be really good material for the writers of Desperate Housewives, but in our family this could be considered scandalous! Maybe I should tell Kevin before he reads this post......

Other bits of randomness: Conversations with a Four Year Old

Conversation #1

The other day Laura was disgruntled because I had either given her something she didn't want in the food department or I didn't give her what she wanted. Both happen so often I don't know which it was. Anyway, here is the dialogue to follow:

Kara: "I'm sorry this isn't your favorite, but it is what is good for you and you need/don't need to eat it." (depending on situation listed above)

Laura (now laying in the floor in the living room very dissatisfied with her lot in life): "I don't want to be in my world anymore."

Kara: "Oh really?"

Laura: "No, I want to be in Susan's world. I like it better there."

Kara: No response but laughing out loud. A lot.

Conversation #2

Laura: "When God was a little boy where did he poop?" (excuse the graphic nature of the questions but it is life with a four year old.)

Kara: "Um, well, when Jesus was a little boy I'm sure they had places for pooping.

Laura: "No, not Jesus, I mean God. Where did he poop?"

Kara: "I don't know if God really needs to poop. I'm not sure if He eats or not."

Laura: "If he doesn't eat, how can he live?" "Do you think He likes cheese toast?"

Kara (deciding not to get into theology way over both our heads): "I'll bet that if He eats, I'm sure He'd like cheese toast."

Laura: "Where are the bathrooms in heaven?"

Kara: "I don't think we'll need bathrooms in heaven."

Laura (alarmed): "If there are no bathrooms there where will I go potty?"

Kara (again deciding to take the easy, sensible route): "I'm sure that God will be able to tell you where you can go potty."

Laura: "Okay, what's for lunch?"

What a sweet life we live. So blessed we are to share it with you......
