Yesterday my kids and I put up the Christmas tree. It's a tradition that after we do so, we make a fancy cup of hot cocoa and drink it while listening to Christmas music and admiring the tree.
I placed a steaming cup of hot cocoa in front of my nine-year-old son and told him that he could put the whipped cream and toppings on it. He grabbed a can of Reddi Wip and sprayed a mountain of the white stuff on top. Then he got the Hershey's chocolate sauce and squeezed about a third of the container onto the mountain he already created.
I looked at that boy and shook my head. "Have a little hot cocoa with your toppings!"
"Mama," he said. "This isn't all for the cocoa. Watch." He dipped his finger into it and spread the goop onto his face. When he was done, he had a white mustache and beard (and a few sprinkles). "See. I decorated my face for Christmas. Now I'm Santa Claus!"
Maybe decorating faces with chocolate should be part of the tradition - from now on.
ReplyDeleteMaybe. As long as he cleans up!
DeleteYeah, Ma, he was decorating his face...!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure he had that planned all along!
Deletelol. I was not expecting that from your kid. But funny story! And it seems that Christmas is ever closer.
ReplyDeleteStick around here for a while, and you'll come to expect anything from my kid!
DeleteFollowed by the tradition of washing your son's face, right?
ReplyDeleteGuess he wanted to be sure he got the whipped cream moustache.
Yes. Something like that! ;0)
Deleteso next thing you must send him down the chimney.....
ReplyDeleteHa! With a big bag of toys - for me!
DeleteI think I'll try that the next time I have hot cocoa. Good plan, Bubba.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I'd like to see a picture of that! ;0)
Delete*hee* Bubba certainly knows how to get creative with his toppings...
ReplyDeleteYes, he does!
DeleteDoes he bring gifts too
ReplyDeleteWe'll have to work on that!
DeleteI think it's awesome that he's so creative! :)
ReplyDeleteHe really is creative. I hope he never loses it!
DeleteThink what he could do at Starbucks!
ReplyDeleteHa! He'll start a new trend!
DeleteAhh a smart answer! Reminds me I haven't had a hot chocolate with whipped cream and all the toppings in ages - must put on to do list!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely. Go get some hot chocolate!
DeleteNow I know how to answer my wife next time I do the same thing!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bubba!
Ha! That's hilarious!
DeleteLOL! I love how you let him run with it and have some fun. :D
ReplyDeleteWhy not? It's washable! ;0)
DeleteSo funny, Bubba always keeps you smiling! D
ReplyDeleteNow that is a new way to enjoy hot cocoa. ; )
