Searching for cookies

When I sat down with my son on Friday, he seemed a little dejected until…


Son: Dad, Mom hid the cookies and I can't find 'em.
Me: Oh? You've been looking for them, eh?
Son: Yah. But she hid 'em really well.
Me: Hmm. She's a good hider.
Son: Yah.
Me: Yah. Anyway, it's close to dinner and---
Son: Oh! I know! I didn't check the pot drawer!
Me: The pot... the what?
Son: You know. Where the pots and pans are!

Oh. That pot drawer.

I have a 21 mo. old, and I don’t really have to watch what I do yet, but seeing how a potential conversation will go with my kid, I notice I will have to be on guard. He woke me up today by hitting me in the head w/ a diecast metal HotWheels van (X-Men Wolverine special edition).
