Dinosaur Oatmeal

An excerpt from our breakfast table:

Xandra is eating oats and I’m roaming around the kitchen putting dishes away, taking bites of my cereal and feeding Theia.

Xandra: “Mommy, mommy, I don’t want to eat the dinosaur.”

Mommy: (total confusion) “Uh, okay, don’t eat the dinosaur.”

Xandra: “But it’s in my oats.”

Mommy: (Unsure what to say to make it better, trying not to laugh) “Oh, well, stir it up and then it will be all gone.”

Xandra: “But, there’s a dinosaur.”

Mommy: “Okay, let me see.”

Xandra then points to a piece of stem from the banana that is mixed in her oats. I remove the stem and all is right with the world again.
