For years now, in our home, there has been some confusion about the grilled cheese sandwich. I can vividly remember offering to make these lovely, protien filled, sandwiches one time to my then three year old, Ashlyn. Her response was one that we have laughed about for years..."No, I want a boy-cheese sandwich! I understand that "girl" and "grilled" can be easily confused when you are a three year old. Right?
Well, the misunderstanding was sadly laid to rest today. I once again offered to make her a "grilled" cheese sandwich today for lunch. She was very excited, because she is nothing if not a total cheese lover. She then said to me seriously, "What do Boy's eat?" Do they eat "boy"-cheese sandwiches?"
Of course I had to laugh to myself....
Then there was this moment of saddness knowing I was going to have to tell her the truth...
She's old enough now to hear and know the difference between "girled" and "grilled".
After the explanation...there was silence for a moment...
Then laughter!
She thought it was so funny that she thought it was "girled" instead of "grilled".
I was a little sad though at the death of "girled" cheese sandwiches...
I think for me they will always be ..."Girled".
