I sent the three youngest outside for a while today while I cleaned the kitchen so that any mess they made was out there and didn't demoralize me. Michael wandered in after a while chewing on something.
Here's how the conversation went - Me - What are you eating?
Michael - I think it is a rotten nut.
Me - Where did you get it?
Michael - Off the chicken food.
Me - WHAT?!?
Michael - I mean off the top of the chicken food bucket...
It turns out it was a pecan from off our tree that had cracked open. Who knows how or why it was on top of the chicken feed container, but it came in handy for a banished-to-the-backyard, hungry boy.
