Lifes Like That

Kids can be so funny.  You never know what they are going to say or what they are thinking.  This is just an example of what my daughter was thinking this weekend.  We went to a seafood restaurant over the weekend.  One of the dishes on the menu said “live lobster”.  I really, really wanted to try this dish, but because the price tag was quite expensive on it, I didn’t want to buy it on my own.  So, I asked me eight year old daughter if she would share the plate with me.  As I know she loves lobster, I was quite surprised when she wouldn’t agree to it.  After we had placed our different orders we started talking about the dish and I come to find out that the reason why she wouldn’t share this meal with me.  The reason for this was because she honestly thought they would be bring a “live lobster” to the table and that we would have to kill it ourselves.  That didn’t sound like something she wanted to do.  So, after explaining to her that that was only the name of the dish and the lobster would indeed come to our table cooked, she has “pinky sweared” me that she will try it next time.

Who can figure kids out?  I don’t even try now to figure out what they are thinking or what is going on in their little minds.
