Literal Thinking

One thing we have to remember in our house is that the kids think literally. By this I mean what you say is what they expect. Couple of examples of this.

Once someone said its raining cats and dogs. Lucy ran to the window expecting to see cats and dogs falling from the sky. Of course they were not. She said its not raining cats and dogs it's raining rain.

Yes Gordon Ramsey comes into this. Roger got up early today. He was hungry so he used his iPad to look up how to make scrambled eggs. Then he waited for someone to get up so he could cook. Husband walked by and asked what's up with Gordon Ramsey here? Rogers response I'm not Gordon, if I was I would be blond, speak in a french accent, and be yelling at her to get out of the kitchen. Husband just laughed and walked away.
