Doodles wants to travel. The list of places he wants to go grows daily. “Can we go to South America?” “Can we go to Egypt?” “Can we go to China?”<\/p>\n
I give him a stock answer. “Of course we can go to those places! But we can’t go until you start eating energy food, because I want to make sure you don’t starve while you’re there.”<\/p>\n
So many of our conversations revolve around what food is eaten where. “What do they eat in Egypt?”<\/p>\n
“Lots of fresh fruit. Lots and lots of it. You can go up to these little stores, and they’ll squeeze you super fresh juice. It’s yummy! If you eat fruit, you’ll do great in Egypt.”<\/p>\n
A couple of weeks ago, he told me, “We can go to Japan. I’ll eat bread there.”<\/p>\n
I broke it to him that bread is not exactly a staple in Japan and that if he starts to eat rice, we could consider a trip to Japan.<\/p>\n
So that leads to all sorts of quizzes. In the car this week:
D: Do they eat raisins in all the states?
Me: Huh?
D: Do they eat raisins in all the states.
Me: Yes, you can have raisins in all the states.
D: So we can go to China?
Me: Oh! You mean countries.
D: Yes, countries. So do they have raisins in China?
Me: You know, I’m not really sure.
D: Look it up. When we get home look it up on the computer. Find out if they have raisins in China.
Me: Um, I’m not even sure how to look that up.
D: Do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
