Friends with food

Funny thing: Alex now personifies his food. Suddenly the things on his plate are people with feelings. This is what he says:

Mommy, these two chicken nuggets need ketchup. They are sad they didn’t get any. They want to be dunked in ketchup too.

Anna, you should eat those two last carrots. If they’re not eaten, they will be lonely they were left.

But the very best one was when he brought out the carton of milk and Hershey’s chocolate syrup and said:

Mommy, these two things want to be together so I can have chocolate milk.
