At that point, my sarcasm genes kick in and the kids would get something like "nope, it's cooking in the basement." I would totally use the toilet line, but Michelle already got it. There may be a reason my kids have a odd sense of humor. Hmmmm.
With a daddy like Alex, who has come up with some ingenious inventions to rocket-propel food around the property, I see it as a completely sensible question.
Ive gotten that question too and made the mistake of telling my middle one that i was making soup in the toilet. I late found a pound of carrots floating in there and a very proud child "making soup"
My best sarcastic comebacks always go right over my kids' heads. But at least she understands that kitchens are for cooking. Since she's going to be unequal to boys and all ;)
"No, honey, it's grilling over the toilet."
ReplyDeleteLOL.
(Will refrain from making the obvious blonde joke.)
In Bella's defense...it COULD have been grilling outside you know!
ReplyDeleteIn this heat? Who even needs a grill?
ReplyDeleteI just blink.
ReplyDeleteBlink. Blink blink.
Usually by then, the lightbulb fizzles over their little heads and they say, "Um... yeah." and just leave the room.

I swear to god, that sounds exactly like something my fiance would say.
ReplyDeleteI usually reply to his stupid questions with, "I'm not even going to answer that one" or "I'll let you figure that out...".
MAN.

ReplyDeleteMaybe she wanted to see if YOU knew where it was cooking.
ReplyDeleteReverse psychology, you know?
Yes, the "chicken" is cooking our dinner in the kitchen. ;)
ReplyDeleteToo cute...kid's have an unabashed honesty, don't they? They don't take much for granted at certain ages!
ReplyDeletehey, I'm sure it was an innocent question and she didn't mean anything by it...
ReplyDeletedid she? rofl

oh I'm sorry Bella's first day didn't go well, she looks so cute in her uniform!
ReplyDeletewhen my cousin was young, she got in trouble for complaining "chicken again? I swear I'm going to shit feathers"
ReplyDeleteIt's still a favorite joke, but the S word got her in hot water. ha ha ha
