He Thought it was Yogurt.

This is one of those stories that is laugh out loud funny, but absolutely embarrassing to the poor kid.

Last week one evening before bed, Jake was reading books.  We were all going about our business as usual when Jake started crying uncontrollably.  We kept asking him what was wrong, and it eventually came out that there was spit up on one of the books that he had been reading.  (Aubrey had recently been playing in the area.)  We told him it was ok, wiped it off the book, and thought that was the end of it.

Well, much to our surprise, the little guy kept carrying on and on with the crying and we had no idea what was going on.  After doing our best to calm him down, he finally blurted out, “I ATE BARF!”  He had actually tasted some of the spit up on the book!  Ryan asked him why in the world he did that and he told us it was because he thought it was yogurt!  Yogurt!!  The poor guy was so traumatized over having tasted spit up!  We made sure to tell him that’s it’s best to eat yogurt only when it comes in the container.  Better to be safe than sorry I think.

 The offending book.  Bad little animals.
