Super Powers

So Number 6 comes up to me while I'm sitting at my computer deeply concentrating on the vast amount of research I was doing...ok, not really...I was reading The Pioneer Woman - Ree Drummond's blog. But anyway...he comes up to me and asks: "can I have one of those kinda round things that are straight and goes like this" (making hand motions) Immediately, my mind shifts to real life and does a 6 second inventory of what is in the kitchen. I ask him "where is it?" “It’s in the big fridge” (we actually have 2 fridges…one, the big fridge, is in the kitchen and the other is the milk fridge in the storage room. The milk fridge is where we usually keep our extra 12 gallons of fresh jersey milk, hence the name milk fridge. But I digress….) So my mind does another quick 6 second inventory of what’s in the big fridge. I ask “what color is it?” His response…meat color. Bingo!! Meat sticks…the hot spicy meat sticks made from grassfed beef…”Yes, Buddy…you can have some!” What can I say? I’m a parent…deciphering strange languages is one of my superpowers! Now excuse me while I go change a diaper!!
