Lost in Translation

Elijah spent a Saturday and Sunday morning with our friends Andre and Jene Rice for our anniversary last night (Thanks guys). Before Elijah left our house Eddie gave him a briefing...it went a little something like this:

- If you go to the store with them, you don't need anything and you don't want anything!

- Behave as if we were with you

- And most importantly: Do NOT talk Mr. and Mrs. Rice to death (Elijah loooooves to talk...I mean about anything that pops into his mind and to anyone that will lend 1/2 of a listening ear - asking questions he knows the answer to already is a BIG one for him also)

Andre took Elijah to a local Japanese grocery store. While walking around Elijah asked Andre, "What are Begetables?"

Andre replied, "Elijah, you know what vegetables are."

Elijah then said, "No, I know what vegetables are, but what are begetables?"

Check out the picture!!

Kim L. - This one was especially for you!

He knows what I like

I came home on Thursday and Eddie had a 'Thinking of You' gift for me on the counter. He told me I couldn't open it until Friday after work.

I just love my man. He is super thoughtful! I loved all the different Kit Kat flavors - they are from all over Japan!! How cool was this gift!!!

What's inside a coconut?

A few months ago, Elijah and I went grocery shopping (hmmm I was the one shopping - he was the one asking questions up and down each aisle!) While we were in the produce aisle I grabbed a coconut and told Elijah to shake it and listen carefully. He was amazed that there was milk inside a piece of fruit.

So this weekend we bought one so that he could see what was inside and taste the coconut milk....here you go!

Elijah isn't a fan of loud noises.......hence closing his ears while Eddie opens the coconut
Elijah tasting the coconut milk - he said, "It looks like water, not milk" He did not like it at all.

Eddie said Elijah's head looked just like a coconut to him!
