High opinions of my cooking ability

As I've mentioned here from time to time, the boys have been surprisingly resistant to eating anything I make. I'm often surprised they don't just turn into stick figures.

So I haven't thought they were big fans of my cooking. And they probably aren't. But I realized today that N-man at least has extremely high expectations for my abilities. Here was our conversation this morning, when he wanted Apple Cinnamon Cheerios (his favorite).

N-man: We have apples, don't we?

Me: Yes.

N-man: And there's cinnamon in this house?

Me: Yes, why?

N-man: Why don't you just make me some Apple Cinnamon Cheerios?

Me: I think I'll just pour them out of the box.

N-man: No, I want the ones you make.

I guess I'm supposed to figure out how to make cereal for him. Perhaps I'll just pour the box onto a cookie tray while he's not looking!

Another funny N-man realization today: B-man had fallen and was crying, and N-man always likes to sing to him to make him feel better. Today he sang the ABCs. And at the end, he sang, "Now I know my Abe Eeee Cees". I asked him to repeat himself, and he definitely said it again. So funny, since at the beginning of the song he knows it's A B C! The world must be such a weird place for kids!

LOL Are Apple Cinnamon Cheerios your signature dish? Forget What A Card; you should be What A Chef!

hehehehehe That N-man, he's so funny :)

I'm impressed that he knows that there ARE ingredients to making things...I'm fairly certain that my kids think you can get anything and everything from the grocery store (pre-made) - including a new car. (I suppose that may indicate MY cooking skills, hmmm.)

Don't do it! Give in on the Cheerios, and the next thing you know he'll be expecting souffles and Baked Alaska.
