The other week, I told the kids I was going to make Daddy's favorite pie, a lemon sponge pie.
Elle was eager to help. As she watched me mix the ingredients, she asked, "When will you make my favorite pie for me?"
This struck me funny, because this pie I was making, was only the third pie I'd ever made. And we don't eat pie other than holidays. So, I needed to question her further.
"So, Elle" I asked, "What is your favorite pie?"
She answered very matter of factly, "Watermelon pie!"
"Oh really?" I replied, "But you don't like watermelon when we have it in summer."
"Oh, but I like watermelon pie."
What's a mom to do? I goo*gled 'watermelon pie' and actually found a recipe for a frozen pie. I'll keep it in my stash for next summer - but first I'll ask to see if she has a new favorite by then.
Happy Tiny Talk Tuesday!

Watermelon pie? Who would have thunk it?!? :)
oh we LOVE pie at this house. my kids ask for it regularly--our favorite is cherry...but that may just be because it's mom's favorite and gets made most frequently.
Oh, a frozen watermelon pie, sounds yummy!
Not sure about the pie, but Dave thinks Elle is sooooo cute!
Truthfully - watermelon pie doesn't really sound that good to me. But I guess it's good to try new things, huh?
Great pic! Hope 1st grade is still going well - we are nutso busy over here....
