Levi made some soup yesterday. By himself. It was very yellow, but the children said it was yummy. He came to me and handed me a piece of paper, announcing that it was his soup recipe. It read as follows:
ptatos anb peprs anb beens anb sethnins.
Which translated means: potatoes and peppers and beans and seasonings.
He pointed to the counter and said, "Those are the seasonings I used," There was garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt. Hmm, not bad, I thought. Besides the vegggies in his recipe, he had put in slices of tomato. All of the vegetables were freshly picked from our garden. He had simply boiled tham all in some water. The yellow color, well, it wasn't natural, and it wasn't in the recipe, so I can't say for sure, but I did find an empty bottle of yellow food coloring in the pantry that afternoon. :-)
This afternoon, Levi came to me and announced when he grew up he was going to be a "plane conductor", and that when he was flying the plane to California, I could go for only one dollar. "Wow!" I said, "That's really great!" "Yeah, and anybody else in my family can go for two dollars. For all the other people it costs 30 dollars, no, 100 dollars." I told him he was sure to have a lot of business!
