Saying of the Day: Mom, where'd the coconuts go?

We had a treat today with Daddy being here most of the day before taking him to the local airport. We were all a bit tired and some of us had an almost three hour nap from a day of fun yesterday. We were invited to my boss' house for dinner and to spend some time with a possible coworker. I need to explain a bit about Boss' house. The have grandsons...and lots of toys, a baseball field, a giant swing set fort, and a pool. The oldest grandson, who "just turned 7" as he informed me, spends a lot of time there. Boss arranged for 7 year old to come spend time with H yesterday evening. After nearly 40 minutes of sitting in my lap, one good sized snack later, and a little Planet 51, H was ready to go and go he did. He LOVED the slide "Daddy, I go fast!" H also spent time in the pool all be it close to the steps where I could dive in after him if his arm floaties came off. He was imitating 7yo by trying to swim under water, throwing balls, and desperately wanted to dive off the diving board (ummm...no "Why Mommy?") He had such a good time in his exhausted stupor on the way home tyring REALLY hard  not to fall asleep he told me "I want to stay here. I don't want to go home."

My feelings weren't hurt and on the flip side 7yo seemed to enjoy having someone else to play with even if he didn't know how to rough house (yet.)

Anyhow, as an alternative to our weekly trip to Sam's, we opted to go to Wal-M..t after dropping Daddy off at said local airport. H was wholeheartedly willing to participate to go look at toys. I've come to the conclusion that WM doesn't really have even a good selection of toys but we look anyway to appease the wondering mind and wandering body that is H. Often we don't buy anything "You can look but we aren't going to get that."  Today, we opted for a couple of sticker packs that were on clearance as well as the needed item - mile - desired items - decent cottage cheese, precooked beef roast - and some unneeded items - new frozen pizza dough with mozzarella cheese bites and...chocolate donuts (think Hostess gems.)

Sometime before dinner was done H piped up with "Mommy, what happened to the coconuts?" Ok, mom brain thinking really hard - usually can decipher most references even those from left field but coming up completely blank on this one. "H, what coconuts?" "The ones with holes in them." Now I'm wondering what he has seen recently on TV to know that coconuts have "holes" in them = Madagascar drinking salt water out of half....no other references come to mind...completely blank. "H, we don't have any coconuts." "Yes, (we've been working on the "s" sound instead of the "th" sound), the coconuts in the cupboard with the holes in them."

"H, do you mean the chocolate covered donuts with holes in them?"

"Yeth."
