There are no new fruit obsessions in the house, although we did get through the grocery shopping this morning on the strength of a new citrus friend. Alas, although very similar, The Boy seemed to know that this new interloper was not, in fact, the precious Lem. (He who, looking oh-so-very worse for wear after his adventures, finally succumbed to wilt and died.) The new guy was quickly abandoned in favour of garlic that needed to be peeled.

Yes, in the store. It's amazing the attention span that kid can have over peeling garlic. Enough to get through most of the grocery store. I tell you, he's two: if there's any advantage I can take, as a parent, I'm damn well going to.
