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????  :)
