another funny moment



Tonight at dinner:
we are all sitting around eating a good dinner (well, ok i was standing because kate was asleep on my back in the ergo) and charlie was ending his three course dinner of fresh peas, roman beans and rice, and pasta. He started throwing his pasta left and right for lilly. (i swear they made a deal a few months back: lilly kindly shares her dog food with charlie as long as charlie shares his leftovers with lilly....i keep explaining to charlie that being a vegetarian means no animal products, including ground up horse meat in dog food.)
Adam didn't seem to notice charlie throwing his dinner clear across the room. At first I felt proud of my son's wicked arm as he cleared tables, chairs and walls. Then I said, Charlie no more throwing food for lilly.
That is when adam chimed in, "Charlie if you throw it for lilly one more time I will take it away" of course charlie being the spunky punkey that he is throws another piece for lilly. After adam takes the bowl away, charlie says "no daddy, char char happy". So adam of course gives in, gives the bowl back to charlie and says, "Charlie that is your food, only for you. no throwing." Charlie being 100% me, picks up a nice fat piece of pasta and chucks it right at his dad's face. I bust at laughing, adam half shocked, half laughing, and half annoyed...tells charlie a bit more firmer, don't throw the pasta.
Charlie looks so innocently at his father, does the 'little bit sign' and says, just a little bit, which sounds more like jusalilbi
Adam says no, charlie pinches a tiny piece of pasta off from the bigger piece and throws it for lilly.
i think...my kid rocks!
