Current mood:
touched Tuesdays are my lunch dates with Chloe.
The lunch dates are freaking COOL as HELL. Take today, for instance... I decided to take CoCo to the Middle Eastern buffet. I thought it would be neat for her to try something new. However, I had no idea HOW neat it would be.
As we are getting ready to walk in, she says, "MOMMY! Can you (s)mell dat?!" CoCo has what has to be the most sensitive nose in the world. She was smelling the aroma before I'd even opened the door. I don't know why I never took her there before. Of course she'd like it! They use all those herbs and spices so heavily, it would be like going to the park for her. We go in and head to the buffet. She has me pick her up and is sniffing so loudly, I was a bit afraid she'd snort food from the buffet trays right up her nose. She asked for a little bit of e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g from the buffet. I was thinking, "HOW COOL! She's going to try a taste of each and every thing!"
Nope.
She put each and every item, one by one, on her fork and sniffed them until she'd sniffed out every bit of moisture and they were nothing more than dust particles. As far as eating went, she really liked the creamy herbed pasta, the curried vegetables and chicken, the herbed chicken, the greek salad, cucumber sauce, and the spiced rice. Everything else I got her was for no other reason than sniffing satisfaction. I know you guys think I'm exaggerating, but I'm not. She literally had a thick smear of food on her nose and upper lip from smelling everything. She even smelled her pita bread and then used it as a napkin. She even smelled the food she'd gotten on her forearm.
We then head outside and walk back discussing how nice lunch smelled. We are silent for about 2 or 3 minutes when she says, "Mommy, wanna know what I mell now? I said, "What?"
"Poop."
And that was the end of our lovely discussion.
I love Tuesdays!
