Trash Talking

Thanks in large part to Trader Joe's letter-shaped Cinnamon Schoolbook Cookies, The Roc can now recognize every letter in the alphabet. However, knowing the alphabet is not the same thing as knowing how to spell, as he recently demonstrated while throwing away some trash.

"P-U-S-H," he read on the flap of the garbage bin. Then he added authoritatively: "That spells 'Trash.'"

P.S. I'm Not Sure If Fish Count As Animals

Dear Netflix,
Please don't send us any more movies about talking animals. My son refuses to watch them. He is three years old and he knows animals can't talk. However, the following are acceptable: talking trains, talking cars, talking dinosaurs, talking toys, talking babies, and talking vegetables.
Thanks,
Mommy

Skunk Dreams

The Roc: "I had a dream about skunks."

Mommy: "I had a dream about airplanes."

The Roc: "You're so lucky, Mommy."
