The power of literature

We bought a new book last week called I'd Really Like to Eat a Child about a little crocodile named Achilles who decides that he isn't going to eat bananas for breakfast (like his parents want him to) because today he would really like to eat a child. As it turns out, his appetite is bigger than his stomach and things don't quite go as he plans. At any rate, this morning Griff woke up about 8 and wasn't ready for breakfast so we were reading stories, including the one about Achilles. About a half hour later, I was fixing his oatmeal (which he loves) and asked him if he wanted some nana. He shook his head, said "no" and then said "child!"

What? Excuse me?

"No nana! Child!"
