Be nice to the guy whose house is made of chocolate

I brought home a chocolate version of the White House the hotel gave me after a recent trip to DC.

Dash LOVED it. I asked him who lives at the White House.

His reply, "The President of the United States of America."

He paused and added, "I'll be really nice to him."

I assume that is because his house is made of chocolate.

Sushi

Dash (emphatically): "Sushi is good for little boys!"

More comments at the dinner table

Since it turns out it is not very efficient for me to type up our weekly meal plans, this little blog may just become a place to jot down the funny things that Dash says at the kitchen table.

Last night, "Enchiladas make you strong!"

And again...

Dash, "This sandwich looks like Oklahoma."

I got a look at this one.

It did look like Oklahoma.

Overheard

Dash: "This piece of chicken is weird."
Mommy: "Why?"
Dash (matter-of-factly): "Because it looks like a vacuum cleaner."

I was laughing so hard I almost choked, but Mr. Incredible actually looked at the chicken, which he said did resemble the shape of a vacuum cleaner.
