Perfection and Crackers

When I was a child, I had a game that I adored. And up until now, I haven’t seen it around the stores {Not that I look often but when I do, I haven’t had luck}. Until when we were Christmas shopping for the boys a few weeks ago. Jeremy was trying very hard to keep me focused on only the items that were on our list, because I kinda could go out of control buying gifts *ahem*.

But when the clouds opened up and I heard angels sing, he had no other choice but to get me “Perfection”. I know, you all are ALL shocked that my favorite game growing up has to do with Math .

And the boys love playing it too, that is when I let them play. Because after all Jeremy got it for ME, not them!

Last week, Carter and I were eating Cheez-it crackers which are his new favorite snack. Evan was at school.

Carter asked me, “What’s this mama?”

“That is a cracker.”

With a sparkle in his eye and a grin he responded, “Noooooo, mama, it’s a square.”

Impressed, I agree with him.

A few moments later, he asked for a octagon. Of course, we didn’t have any octagon crackers. He began saying that the Cheez-its were octagons. And trying very hard to state his case.

After a few moments of arguing with my 2 YEAR OLD, I asked him if he wanted to go to the store and find some octagon crackers. Because come on, no son of mine can confuse octagons with squares.

So off we went and off I tweeted. Here is a partial of that conversation (the tweets are in descending order so read from the bottom up)…
