WHAT 'PIE' EQUALS

As I was fixing dinner tonight, Little T was looking in the cabinets for a snack.  He settled on a Oatmeal Creme Pie.  In a little bit, he said..."You know......this isn't REALLY a PIE!!!!"   LOL

So, Mom's brain started tickling a little.  I went to Answers.com:   What means by a pie?    (I know....I picked the question...I did not form that sentence)  :/   Answer:   A pie is pastry filled with fruit, veggies or meat.

He's right.  It's not....REALLY.   He thinks of pie as something sweet with a crust.  And I'm not really sure he would understand PIZZA PIE, or MINCE MEAT PIE, or even CHICKEN POT PIE. 

But they DO fit the definition.  And here's another one..RHUBARB PIE...Rhubarb being a dried, bitter-tasting rhizome used as a laxative.  (Sounds yummy, huh??)

My conclusion is the OATMEAL CREME PIES, fall under the same category of MOON PIES, but not even in the same 'recipe' book as COW PIES.   We won't talk about that one.  :(    Then....there's MAGPIE.   A whole OTHER species..... :)

Now.....maybe at some point.....I'll introduce the concept of "Pi".......but not for awhile....he's only 6.

Anyone hungry????  :)

LITTLE T'S DAY OUT

Well....we've been fighting the 'bug' for two weeks now.....Little T is about to go nuts from cabin fever.  However, today, after several days of earache....I ventured to work with him in tow, because I wasn't absolutely sure he was 'school' ready yet.  He hasn't been 'himself' much at all....lots of sleep...and finally got rid of the awful earache pain.  But today, I found out that with all this R & R....his ORNERY TANK is once again FULL.  :)

Here are a few gems from last night and today that he was able to come up with now that he feels better:

When he looking for a snack last night....

"I SMELL GUMMY BEARS!!!!"  LOL  

He doesn't even like gummy bears..... ;)


When I went to work today, we had to haul his 'wrestlers' and his 'wrestling ring' to work, so he'd have something to do...but then he says, "I need a bigger ring....they all won't fit."  Mom comes up with the 'new' concept of Tag-Team wrestling!!!!  "Like on TV."  :)

He found my giant bubble wrap at work.  "OH...CAN I POP THIS???"   Me: (Because there are other people in the building)..."It's too loud...I don't think so."  

 T: "How about if I POP IT QUIETLY???" 

LOL

Here's a jewel........."Mom....I want some fried oyster skins.".....(WHAT????)


During our bank run to a couple of different places...."How come that bank didn't give me a sucker???" 
(So, I bought him a bag of  Dum-Dums rather than drive all the way across town to the bank that DOES give out suckers.....)   Then he says...."I think this bag of suckers is making me sick."  Me:  "Why?"
 T:  "It smells funny."  (Yeah...I don't know either....oh well...next battle??...but I now have a WHOLE sack of suckers to myself....hehehe!)

During this bank run also, he was disappointed that he couldn't show me the great picture he drew.....because he dropped his Etch-A-Sketch in the floorboard. T:  "Oh..Man!!!!"    :( 

Along the way, he had a pinky fingernail that was in what I'll call a 'state of emergency'.  Little things are big things sometimes...."JUST DON'T TOUCH IT!!!"  But he did.... :)

While waiting for his brother to get out of school....he entertained himself by putting a pink plastic frog in his favorite Mom's hair.....because it was hilarious.  Obviously.  ;)   

THEN....he entertained himself by poking the air conditioner vent with a stick...while saying..."But I'm NOT DOING NOTHING!!" 

Also, while we were in the car, he announces..."I'm a creative person!!!" 
(I had no idea....really.  :)

Once we FINALLY got home, he'd been asking ALL DAY if he can play in the snow...Me: "No...you DO NOT need to get sick again..."  Finally...I let him put on boots and bundle up......to "WALK ONLY!!" in that 'pleasure filled' snow.....He was back inside in no less than 30 seconds.  And HAPPY.  :)

I believe school is in order tomorrow....Don't you??  :)
