Picture by Sarah.Setting the scene...we are shopping at Wal-mart...
Hunter: Mom can we try grapefruit, I've never had it before and it looks good?
Me: Well, it's really sour I'm not sure you'll like it.
Hunter: It's supposed to be good for you I want to try it.
Me: Okay, we'll try it.
Who am I to say what he will and won't like, right?
Fast forward until today...
Hunter: Mom, I want that grapefruit today!
Me: Okay, here let me show you how to eat it.
I go away for a little bit, and come back to find a half of a grapefruit "sort of" eaten.
Me: So you didn't like it?
Hunter: Well, you were right, it is very sour, but if you don't chew it and just swallow it, it's not so bad.
A few minutes later he is "sort of" eating the other half and he says to me:
Hunter: Mom do you think you could make a living on eating jalapenos?
Me: I don't know, I think you'd have to eat all kinds of funny things to make a go of it, but what prompted that question??
Hunter smiling: I don't know, I was just wondering.

He really is too cute for words. How can he already be almost 11? I remember the call that you were pregnant! This can't be. He was born the summer I started dating Kevin. Holy crap. I like his deep thoughts too. Seriously, Hunter is a good boy.
Hunter kills me. When I called this morning, he tried to answer saying "dominoes pizza - can i take your order?" in a stuffy, accented old lady's voice. i said "yes, i'd like a pepperoni pizza please" and he starts laughing and said "i have a crappy adult voice" i love him. he's so funny. he wants to make a living off of eating jalapenos? sounds like he is his mother's son. by the way - which has more blood, a whale or a shark, heather?
That's hilarious! What a funny guy! Great picture of him, too!
That's so funny. Where do kids get these things?
