For several days now, little Alex (6yrs.) has posed the question to each of us, "What do you think is the most important meal of the day?" He asks it in such a way that suggests HE has knowledge of the correct answer, and it's up to us to guess what that correct answer is.
"Well," I said, "I've heard it said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, because it wakes your body up and gives it energy to get going. Am I right?" With a smile, he says, "Yes, ma'am. You're correct!"
I asked him where he heard that from, and it turns out that he heard if from an animated series called Iron Man: Armored Adventures. Who knew comic cartoons were so educational?
Tonight, after dinner, as he was excusing himself from the dinner table, Alex said, "I think dinner is the most important meal of the day. Do you know why?" "No," I said. "Why?" He replied, "Because families get together at dinner."
Eat your heart out, Iron Man. Tony Stark's got nothin' on MY little man!
Blessings! ♥Christi
