Urban Child
It's Fiona's first full day home (more on all that soon, hopefully) and Andrea was all set to make some pasta for her. But Fiona had other ideas:
Fiona: I want that thing with the rice.
Mommy: What thing with the rice?
Fiona: With the dark paper in a circle.
Mommy: (after a pause) You mean sushi?
Fiona: Yeah, I want that.
What 4 1/2 year old asks for sushi for dinner?
(OK, two quick qualifiers here: 1) she's actually still not yet 40 lbs., which means she can't have fish; 2) because of #1, when she talks about "sushi", she's actually talking about California rolls or other rolls with rice and veggies, plus a Japanese appetizer or two. Still, I'm pretty sure I never asked for sushi at her age.)
