Toby is a sauce-man. That is, he lives by a firm belief that “anything and everything tastes better with condiments.” So hardcore is he in his belief that I have even caught him dipping fresh orange slices into ketchup when I wasn’t looking. (He was being discreet not because he knew it would turn my stomach, but because there are strict rules around appropriate ketchup use in our household.)
Tonight he had chicken fingers and for dip we gave him plum sauce. He was a bit skeptical at first as his favourite would OBVIOUSLY have been ketchup, but he tasted it and immediately added it to his “dip repertoire”. His vocab, unfortunately, failed to keep up with his sophisticated condiment palate.
“Can I have more of that sauce daddy?”
“Yes, Toby. And it’s called PLUM sauce”
“Ooh. He said. CUM sauce.”
Sometimes, when these unscripted moments catch you off guard, it’s impossible not to laugh. And when your kid is an attention-loving-ham that’s a sure fire way to encourage a behaiour, or, in this unfortunate case, an incorrect use of the term “cum sauce”. Lets just hope they don’t serve chicken fingers at daycare anytime soon.
