Thanksgiving is great. Families get together, eat a lot of turkey, stuff their face with mashed potatoes and eat disgusting desserts. Um, what? Yes, disgusting desserts. After we got done with our Thanksgiving meal, we all got some desserts. We had the options of pumpkin pie, carrot cake, and a chocolate dessert that my grandmother makes. It has a pie-type crust with cool whip, then a chocolate layer followed by more cool whip. It tastes as great as it sounds being described. Kaleb had some and so did my Grandma Gennie (Kaleb's great-grandmother). After Kaleb had eaten about 3/4 of his dessert, he looked at Grandma Gennie's plate and asked, "Why are you eating that disgusting thing?" I could hardly keep my own dessert in my mouth from laughing so hard. Krystin asked him, "What did you say?" Without missing a word, he repeated it exactly, "Why are you eating that disgusting thing?" Of course we had to ask, "Do you like what you're eating?" "Um, yeah!" Kaleb replied. Me - "Then why are you calling it disgusting if you like it?" Kaleb - "I don't know."
I don't know if he was trying to be sly and convince his great-grandma that what she was about to eat was disgusting and that he (Kaleb) would be willing to dispose of it. He may not even understand what "disgusting" means, but he made it one memorable Thanksgiving!
