Oatmeal

Edee:  I wan fuit 'naks too!!"
Me:  Edee, Chicken got fruit snacks because he ate his breakfast all gone.  You didn't eat all of your oatmeal!
Edee:  Yes I did!
Me:  Last time I checked you didn't...did you finish it later?
Edee: Chicken ate mine all gone.  I fink he did.
Me:  I hope not, he's allergic to cow milk.  You should have eaten it.
Edee:  Yes, I did and I put da bowl in da sink.
Me:  Well... I saw your bowl on the table before we left so I know you didn't do that.  We can check when we get home this afternoon to see if you ate it all gone or not.

Later, on the way home.

Edee:  Mom.  I did eat my oatmeal all gone
Me:  Okay, we'll check as soon as we get home
Edee:  You go upstairs, mommy, and Chicken can watch me while I finish eating it.
Me:  Uh.....hmmmm.....sounds a little shady.  I think that solves this dilemma.

I forget about the conversation by the time we are home and Edee gets into the house while I'm packing up things from the truck.  First thing when I walk in the door, she runs up to me:

Edee:  Mommy, I ate it all gone and put my bowl in the sink.

First thing I do is check the garbage can.  No oatmeal.  I look in the sink--there's a bowl with only a little bit of oatmeal left.

What really happened to the oatmeal is a mystery.  Maybe she did eat it this morning.  Maybe Chicken did  and luckily he didn't have a reaction to the milk.  Maybe she hid the remains (ugh...not good).  Maybe she ate it after it sat on the table for 8 hours (really not good!).  Either way, I had no choice but to give her fruit snacks.
