Let’s Make a Sandwich





The 5 Year Old Makes Her Own Sandwich, originally uploaded by zuhl.

I was in the shower this morning and Ellis decided to be helpful and make her own sandwich.

In her words: “The jelly just went everywhere, Daddy.”

You don’t say…

  1. Oh, holy crap.  That’s gonna be sticky for days.

  2. Well, at least she used the cutting board. Imagine if she just went ahead and did that on the cooktop.

    I hope you licked that board before washing it, otherwise that was a waste of good jelly.

  3. And it’s homemade jelly too!  It was a nice effort on her part; one day she’ll figure it out.

  4. Wait, where’s the bunny?

  5. That’s why you should never let kids make food in the shower. It’s way better to do it in the kitchen.

  6. I really would like to say she’ll grow out of that, but I’ll be honest: my sandwiches still mostly turn out like that. So there’s a chance this is more of a lifestyle than a phase.

    Do NOT let her make brownies by herself. Or use a blender. Or a mixer. And it’s possible to make a can of whipped cream explode on accident. Or, um, so I hear.

  7. Whoa. Although, who am I to judge her. I can’t cook. I even think making a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich qualifies as cooking.

  8. Jelly.  Someone needs to get this stuff under control.  One of these days it’s gonna hurt somebody.  Maybe Congress can pass a law...the jelly industry has got to be more regulated. The sandwich looks great...just scoop it up and eat it with a fork! Nice try, Ellis!

  9. Reminds me of when I was a kid and I’d “make lunch” for my dad. Of course, he managed to eat every bit (ever have a PB&J;with a knife and fork), no matter how messy.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

 

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
