New Feature: The "WTH" File

So it's time to introduce another new feature to the blog, which I'll call the "WTH" File.  This is reserved for those things our kids do that always leave us scratching our heads and saying....well, ideally...."what the heck."

If (really, when) your kid does something funny, crazy, unusual, or just plain perplexing, send your story and/or picture to us at mylifewithpie@gmail.com. The regularity of this feature will depend in part on your response, and in part on the frequency with which Anna does weird things.


To begin, Anna has been wanting to use big girl cups at meals now. Of course, I want to encourage this...but some of the inevitable effects of this have included messes and bizarre experiments with drinks.

One night this week, I returned from the kitchen to the dinner table and sat down. I noticed a murky shadow-like substance at the bottom of Anna's cup of Vitamin Water.


I decided closer inspection was warranted.

When I stood up to peer into the cup, this is what I saw:


I was then informed that Anna's peas had decided to "go swimming" in her drink. Hmm.  I then informed Anna that that was fine with me - as long as all the peas were consumed.  And they were.

How anyone could think that's appealing I don't know....but as we all know, a kid's brain can be a wonderfully strange place.

Tell us about your WTH moments!
