this bitterly funny conversation happened at my house last night...
my 2 year old "mommy, i want that cereal", pointing to a stack of boxes on the counter. we get WIC and never eat all the cereal.
i say "no baby, that is the cereal we are giving to the poor people".
to which she cocks her head to the side and gives me a tolerant look and says, "we are the poor people."....stunned i can only think to say, "i mean the other poor people...". which is met by a chipper "oh, okay!"..........
isn't that almost heartbreaking?
