Simon says funny things:

I open the door of the bathroom after having a shower this morning....

Simon is standing at the door, looking up at me.

S = "I ate a candle."

me = "you what?!"

S = "I ate a candle."

".....um, ok. Are you sure? Do you mean you ate a candy?" I could see the remains of something red around his mouth.

S = "No mom. Not a candy."

".....ok, where did you find it?"

S = "On the table."

"show me where"

He points to Ryan's desk in the office.

S = "I stood on daddy's chair to reach it." **note his remarkable vocabulary! It's been growing this week, lol.

"ok then... are you sure it was a candle??"

S = "yes, it was crunchy."

By this point I'm worrying that he found a tylenol or something... so I call Ryan on his cell immediately asking if he'd had any pills on his desk, he says no of course not, 100% sure. Ok... so what could it be? I licked my finger to wipe off some of the red stuff from his mouth and tasted it... it was sweet. I have no red candles in the house... so I'm thinking he found a part of a candy cane and ate it. He was completely normal all day, so I guess whatever he ate was fine.

That was an interesting part of my day.

Hehe, how often do you hear "I ate a candle."
