Well, as my Catholic family members know, yesterday was Fat Tuesday. One of the best things about this day is the Paczki -- a delicious, high-calorie treat. In honor of this, I decided to purchase a couple for our family as a special Fat Tuesday treat. I purchased them on the way home from work, once I had picked Drew up from day care. I told him that I was buying a special treat that we could have our yummy special treat after he had napped, after daddy got home and after we had dinner. He was so excited. After we had dinner, and put away the groceries, Drew just kept asking for his "special treat in the bag". I told him that after he got a diaper change, we would eat our special treat. He ran to his room to get his diaper changed (unheard of for him to practically volunteer for a diaper change!). Tim was changing Drew's diaper and I stopped in the room to ask a question. Drew said something that neither Tim nor I understood, so Tim asked Drew what he said. Drew looked at Tim and said, "I talkin' to Mommy." It was pretty funny.
Fast forward a few minutes, and I am in the kitchen cutting up the packzi. Drew and Tim are in Drew's room finishing the diaper change and talking about our special treat and this is what I hear:
Drew: I want special treat! Special treat!
Tim: Do you know what it is?
Drew: Special treat!
Tim: It is a paczki.
Drew: Paczki! (slight pause) I LOVE PACKZI!
Tim and I busted up laughing. Drew loves packzi's -- and at that point he had never even seen one. Hilarious! Then, he gets to the table, where I have placed a few pieces for him on a plate, and he tells us he doesn't want them. I actually had to coax him to try to eat a sugar-covered, jelly-filled donut! After one bite, there was no going back! I guess he was right, he does love packzi's!!
