Lunch outside again. It is Saturday, and Sandi has called to chat for a bit. You can see the phone sitting up on the table in front of Kiernan; it's on speakerphone so we can all talk to Sandi.
At one point Kiernan brought up chocolate and peanut butter. Sandi sent her famous peanut butter chocolate squares along with Pap-Pap. When Kiernan mentions the bars, and mentions that they are going to have one after lunch, Sandi says something about them not liking them or something. Maybe, "Oh you don't like peanut butter!" I don't really remember exactly what she said. But Kiernan's reply was,
"Somebody doesn't even like chocolate!"
The rest of the conversation I shall recount as best I can. This account is pretty close, but only the last line is verbatim, which is fine as that's the line that counts.
Sandi: There's nobody that doesn't like chocolate!
Kiernan: Yes there is! [looking to me] Is there?
Me: Daniel.
Kiernan: Oh! Daniel doesn't like chocolate!
Sandi: What?!? What planet is he from?
Kiernan: Earth.
Pap-Pap: It's true. Daniel doesn't like chocolate.
Kiernan: He's in my family.
That's it. A sweet little exchange that hit me at the last line. Daniel, in the above conversation, of course refers to one of Kiernan's godparents. "He's in my family." Just a lovely little moment on a beautiful Saturday afternoon.

Annalia doesn't like chocolate either- weird kid! And she actually LIKES salad- we laugh that she's a mutant. Healthy, but a mutant. It's very sad when your kid eats better than you do.
That being said, I could feed Nick waffles all day long, too. He and Kiernan could have a great day at Waffle House!
