Danny found me a leaf today when he was outside playing with his daddy this afternoon. Â I was told that he spent quite a bit of time to find the best leaf for mommy. He handed it to me seriously and I thanked him and left the leaf on the kitchen counter and got back to my cooking right away. It was a leaf that looked a lot like bay leaf. And soon I forgot it.
Tonight dinner was stewed beef. I used bay leaf in it. In the middle of the dinner, just when the bay leaf revealed itself in the plate, Danny stared at it and asked where was the leaf he gave to mommy. He thought I cooked his leaf! Â I rushed to the kitchen counter and thank God that leaf was still there…
As Danny’s memory is getting better than mine everyday, I think I will need to buy myself a storage bin to store all the precious things my son gives to me.
Do you think Danny will cry if you have cooked his leaf? 🙂
I don’t know. He might not. As he might feel it is interesting to cook the leaves on the street to eat. 🙂 Or he might. As he is protective of his work. He brings home a lot of art he does at school everyday. I chuck them when he is not around. But if he sees his art in the garbage bin, he will pick them out and say “these are not garbage!”
