Nature Mom, Nature Baby and Hot Dogs
September 6, 2007
I just got finished reading Nature Mom’s post on the unhealthy stuff kids are exposed to everyday. I had to giggle inside because I had been thinking along the same lines about the toy recalls. And I have to share a funny about hot dogs. (You’ll have to read her post first to get it.)
Today my 4 year old daughter decided she wanted to go camping. She starts dragging out all her clothes, hats, etc and packing them into overnight bags in preparation, then she began packing up her tea party dishes. She came into the kitchen and began talking excitedly about camping, and her G-ma joined in the fun.
G-ma: “Oh, are we going to build a big fire?”
Ilana: “Yea!”
G-ma: “And have a tent and sleep outside?”
Ilana: “Yea!”
G-ma: “And roast marshmallows?”
Ilana: “Yea!”
G-ma: “And eat hot dogs?”
Ilana: “Yea! ……. What are hot dogs?”
We all cracked up of course.

Got something to say?
Cute! I am failing in that regard because my kids definately know hotdogs, despite the fact that I don’t buy hotdogs ever and I have never cooked one in my life. They have relatives that think hotdogs are great…eeeew!
Failing? Don’t talk like that!
I am actually surprised she didn’t know what a hot dog was, but come to think of it, I don’t think she’s ever eaten one. My boys have, because when we go to some BBQ or outdoor party there’s always hot dogs for the kids and somehow they manage to get one, despite my encouragement to have a burger instead.
