Ramblings of a 4 year old

This just cracked me up. My son, age 4.9, is watching Animal Planet. I’m sitting at my desk editing. Just after the commercial break, he walked up to me and threw his arms around me. He said, “Mommy, Duncan Hines brownies make me feel happy. One day I want to make Duncan Hines brownies for you so you can feel happy, too. I love you, Mommy. And I love Duncan Hines brownies.”

Then his attention was back on the show. And now I’m craving brownies. But the love and smiles from my son were even sweeter than chocolate could ever be.

Happy Weekend, everyone!

P.S.
I just had to share Part 2 of this story. After I posted this to the blog, including the impromptu session to capture these photos of my son to go along with the post, I called my husband, who just happened to be at the grocery store. Here is the conversation:

“Hey honey, have you checked out of the store yet?” I asked.

“No, why?” he replied.

“Can you get some Duncan Hines brownies before you leave?”

“Sure. What kind?”

“It doesn’t matter. They just have to be Duncan Hines.”

“Uh, why do they have to be Duncan Hines?”

“Because they do. I’ll tell you when you get home.”

(pause)

“Um … are you pregnant?”
