Caution! Stones found in Costco Muffins


I was so proud this morning when I walked downstairs to find that Joseph had gotten his own breakfast and was happily.... what in the world! What IS HE DOING?


I walked into the kitchen to find him dissecting his Costco muffins - there were muffin pieces everywhere! Ben came in right behind me... here is a transcript.


Ben: Joseph, what are you doing?

Joseph: (Looking up from dissection) stones

Brooke: Joseph what is wrong with the muffin?

Joseph: (Concentrating on dissection) stones, mom... stones

Ben and Brooke: (Looking at one another with confusion... then clarity)

Ben: There are NOT stones in the muffin (leaning in to look carefully) JOSEPH THAT IS CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brooke: Joseph - it's CHOCOLATE -- YOU LIKE CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!

Joseph: LOOK, MOM THERE ARE STONES!!!!! (Yes, we are yelling at this point - laughing and yelling)

Ben: Joseph, look, not stones - chocolate! (Eating a piece)

Joseph: (Watching for dad to choke on stone... seeing that he is OK - smiles sheepishly) Oh

Brooke: SEE JOSEPH!!! IT'S CHOCOLATE - I would NOT feed you stones (yes, I am still yelling, laughing, and smiling).

Joseph: (Grabbing the PILE of stones - begins to eat them happily)

Brooke: (kisses Joseph's head - then walks away shaking hers and smiling)

How funny! And such a sweet bonus at the end when he realized it was chocolate!
