Breakfast

This is how my conversation about breakfast went with Emmett today:

Me: Emmett, what do you want for breakfast?

Emmett: I want popscal (popsicle).

Me: Sweetie, you can't have a popsicle for breakfast.

Emmett: I want blue one.

Me: Emmett, you can't have a blue popsicle for breakfast. That is a treat. For breakfast we need to eat a healthy food.

Emmett: I want donut for beckfest (breakfest).

Me:  Donuts aren't a healthy food, either.

Emmett: I want corn.

Only just ate corn again for the first time in years...went off it after friends went on a health retreat in Thailand which involved daily colonic irrigation sessions. They turned us off sweetcorn for some time. Thought I'd share. x

The most unfortunate thing is that you can't write how he says "Blue."
