What He Already Knows

So Dave was walking the kids through the store the other day, with Graham in the front of the grocery cart. As they moved through the beverage aisle, Graham happened to glance up and catch sight of some familiar-looking neon green liquid. "Daddy water," he said casually, pointing to the Mountain Dew.

Now keep in mind that although Dave pretty much lives off of Mountain Dew at work, he never drinks it at home. The only places Graham would ever have seen him consuming it are at restaurants and in the car on long trips. And yet he obviously knows that this drink of suspiciously radioactive color is his father's tonic. I guess you really can't hide stuff from your kids--not even the two-year old.
