Fearless

Friday, August 29th, 2008

Today we went to the “Fun Forest” at Seattle Center. It’s basically a small set of carnival rides just for kids. Lesson learned? The Boo is totally fearless.

He rode a small but rather speedy roller coaster, a pirate ship that went way too high in my opinion, space ships that went up and down in a circle, bumper cars, and some other little car rides. He eschewed the carousel in favor of doing the planes and the roller coaster again.

We may have a dare devil on our hands. Hopefully some pictures will be uploaded soon!

Sophisticated Taste

Friday, August 29th, 2008

The Boo does not have particularly sophisticated tastes. He won’t eat quiche or pastry or even ice cream with “stuff” in it.

However. The other day we happened across a frozen yogurt place that was giving out free samples. We tries some, we liked it, we decided to buy some. There were only two flavors available (it was healthy frozen yogurt): Plain, or green tea.

My choice: Plain yogurt with blackberries and dark chocolate chips.

Boo’s choice:  Green tea with dark chocolate chips.

The ensuing conversation:

Me: Boo, are you sure you want the green one?

Boo: Yes. Want green.

Me: Are you sure?

Boo: Yes.

Me: Requests sample of green yogurt. Do you like it?

Boo: Yes.

Me: Are you sure? (Totally skeptical here as I don’t like it at all.)

Boo: Yes. Want green ice cream. With chocolate.

Me: Ooooookaaaaaay. Orders frozen yogurt.

We receive our yogurts and start eating.

Boo: Yuck.

Me: Huge exasperated sigh. Too bad.

Boo: Eating frozen yogurt. Yummy!

He finished the whole thing! Green tea frozen yogurt with dark chocolate. I wouldn’t have guessed in a million years he’d like that. Goes to show you never can tell with this one!
