Chilli time

12:45 pm...as I'm stirring the chilli for lunch

Eva: Dad, can I have some breakfast?

Why they really like porridge.

Eva's labelled the brown sugar.

Bravo

Eva: Blavo Tom, Blavo.
Dad: The word is bravo Eva. Not Blavo.

Breakfast jokes

*Over breakfast, Tom is reading the jokes on the cereal boxes.   Eva is trying, but finding it easier to invent jokes*

Eva: Tom, why do hedgehogs drink water?
Tom: Eat.
Eva: Tom, why do hedgehogs eat eggs?
Tom: Eva, eat your breakfast!

Food bag

Eva: When you eat, your food goes into a bag in your lungs.
Mom: No Eva, it goes into a different bag called a stomach.

The Colonel will see you now

Dad:  “Kids, we're going to have KFC for lunch.”
Tom:  “KFC adverts always have that old man with the white moustache.”
Dad:  “Yes Tom, the Colonel.”
Tom:  “Colonel Mustard?”
Dad:  “No Tom, Colonel Sanders.”

Sandy glass

Tom pointing to my glass rimmed with celery salt, prepped for a bloody mary.
Tom:  “Dad, Can you eat that sand on your glass?

That's a spicy toothpaste

Eva:  “I have no toothpaste left.”
Mom:  “Just use Tom's.”
Eva:  “I don't like it. It's too spicy.”

Funny mayonnaise

Lunchtime. I'm taking something very hot and very tomato saucy out of the microwave.

Eva:  “Dad, is that mayonnaise for your lunch?”
Dad:  “Eva, of course it's not. It's chili!”

Big orange

Eva:  “Dad, is this a biggest orange ever?”
Dad:  “Eva, it's a grapefruit.”
Eva:  “Oh. I love grapefroo.”
Dad:  “Really? A second ago you didn't even know what it was.”

Sharing food

Dad:  “What does "being related mean"?”
Eva:  “It means you can share food with that person.”

Cream cheese

Eva:  “Dad, what is this?”
Dad:  “Cream cheese.”
Eva:  “Is that the same as fillidelfida?”

Marshmallow tree

*While helping mom plant a fruit tree outside*

Eva:  “Does this tree grow marshmallows?”

Turkeys vs. Chickens

Mom:  “How can you tell the difference between a turkey and a chicken?”
Tom:  “A turkey has eye brows...”

Ch-ch-ch-chuna.

While eating dinner.

Eva: "Tuna is chewy, that's why is starts with 'Ch', like 'Chuna'"
