In the car this morning, headed for the babysitters:
Cass: Today! We're going to make crabs!
Me: (sneaking admiration for the babysitter - getting my young un to eat something that looks like a big bug is way beyond my abilities) Really? Mommy loves crab with butter.
Cass: Uh-huh! And we're going to paint them!
Me: (okay, not eating them, then) Are they for Chelle's fish tank?
Cass: No, I'm going to bring mine home.
Me: (vision of small food bowl in corner of Cass's bedroom) Honey, I think they'd be better off at Chelle's - the cats might eat them. (You're brilliant, Jess! Blame it on the cats!!) Yup, the cats won't like them at all....
....silence from the back seat......
Cass: Not even if I made Panda her own Valentine?
They are, of course, doing a CRAFT today. We'll see if the cat gets one or not.

hmmmm.... think you'll get one? Cass is probably wondering why you are gonna put butter on his valentines!!hahahahahaha
A surprising number of people have a story about mishearing something that ends up being sort of a catch-all phrase for being deaf. My husband's is 'Alfalfa sitter'; mine is 'What bear?' and yours is clearly going to be 'Painted crabs?! No honey, the cat will eat them!' Hilarious story!!
Whoa, that was way confusing! And very funny. :)
Are you projecting? Does mommy need a grown up meal?
