The other day we received our Family Fun magazine in the mail. Jayden loves this magazine! He was looking through it while I was cooking dinner.
He said to me "Mom they are growing mint in soup cans."
I said "yep they are."
Jayden says " I want to grow mint."
I said "yeah ok"
(I am busy cooking dinner so I am just replying not really paying to much attention)
I turn around to find Jayden climbing in the cabinet where the candy is hidden.
I said "Jayden what are you doing?" He says "I am looking for a Mint."
I started laughing so hard I was crying. Jayden had the most confused look on his face.
He said "What are you laughing at"
I said "Are you looking for a Mint to plant?"
He said "Yeah, What is so funny?"
So Jayden was going to Plant a Peppermint Candy in dirt to grow Mint.
That makes perfect sense to an 8 year old! I hope you are laughing as hard as I was. Needless to say we will be growing mint in our garden this year for Jayden! I am so glad that I have this adorable little boy in my home to help me stop and laugh and give him big hugs. Time goes by to fast and he will be on his own before I know it!
