it would make sense if you were three
September 18, 2006
We are sitting at dinner.
My 3 year old daughter suddenly stands up on her chair, grabs one wayward piece of lettuce off of her salad plate,and tosses it to the ground, disgusted.
“Someone put a leaf in my salad!” she yells before sitting down and finishing her salad, where apparently the rest of the lettuce is not leaves.

Well I guess she told the leaf. No leaves in salads. I am assuming this is some kind of spring mix?
September 18th, 2006 at 11:42 pmOh my goodness, that is hilarious!
September 19th, 2006 at 12:07 amWe have the same problem at our house. One time someone DARED put a hamburger patty on my daugher’s cheeseburger. Aparently cheeseburgers are only supposed to have cheese!
September 19th, 2006 at 12:09 am[grin]HOw dare you! I guess she taught you a lesson about salad prep, no leaves. Tsk, what were you thinking?
September 19th, 2006 at 12:22 amThe other day I dared to put ice in my 3 year old’s ice water. The nerve of some people! And what is it with 3 yr olds?
September 19th, 2006 at 1:37 amYeah, I’ve heard that about princesses. Absolutely no leaves in their salad. Otherwise it’s off to the guillotine. I see she let you off lightly. Lucky you.
September 19th, 2006 at 2:01 amKai always asks, worried, “are these the kind of leaves we can EAT?” as though I sometimes get a kick out of putting inedible leaves in his salad.
September 19th, 2006 at 2:06 ammaybe she should just be glad you didn’t put SPINACH in it.
September 19th, 2006 at 2:30 amThat’s a new tradition at our house now that we have an almost 3-year-old — kind of like burping as a way of complimenting the chef - stand in your chair and throw some food on the floor. Salud!
September 19th, 2006 at 5:32 amjust the giggle I needed this morning…..:)
September 19th, 2006 at 7:50 amWho’s to understand the mind of a 3 yr.old?
September 19th, 2006 at 7:56 amActually who’s to understand anything.
LOL! She’s a riot!
September 19th, 2006 at 8:23 amHow funny is that?
September 19th, 2006 at 8:30 amAt our house, my 3-year-old will not allow us to put salad on sandwiches. I can’t imagine what chaos would ensue should she make the connection between salad (AKA lettuce) and leaves.
September 19th, 2006 at 8:33 amA priceless moment, just wish you had the video camera out at the time. That would have made a great video.
September 19th, 2006 at 8:47 amBrilliant. I love 3-year-old logic.
September 19th, 2006 at 9:30 am3-year olds. You gotta love them!
Thanks for sharing.

September 19th, 2006 at 12:50 pmoh. my. word. that was so funny even my husband thought it hilarious!
September 19th, 2006 at 2:58 pmI once found a blade of grass in my salad.
