Yesterday when dinner was busy cooking away in our InstantPot(s) and everyone was busy setting the table for dinner, Alexander kept mysteriously appearing with his mouth full of food.
"What are you eating?" I asked him.
"Potatoes," he said with bulging cheeks.
"Potatoes?" I wondered.
We were indeed having potatoes for dinner, but they were cooking in the aforementioned InstantPot and were not ready for consumption.
"How could he be eating potatoes?" I asked Andrew. "He's not...getting into the garbage...do you think?"
Andrew had put potato peelings in the garbage...
We were still wondering about what Alexander could be eating when he showed up with another mouthful of food.
"What are you eating?" Andrew asked.
"Muh-hrm-murh-hmm," Alexander mumbled.
"What's in your mouth?" Andrew asked. "Open up."
Alexander quickly chewed, swallowed, and then opened up his mouth to reveal...an empty mouth.
"What was in there?" Andrew asked.
"Potatoes!" Alexander said.
"What potatoes?!" Andrew asked.
"The potatoes," Alexander said.
"Can you show us where you are finding these potatoes?"
Alexander led us to the kitchen, straight to a container of...cherry tomatoes.
"Someone left it open," he shrugged.
So, he'd been eating (unwashed) cherry tomatoes, not potato peelings from the garbage, which I honestly think is probably better for him (not that potato peelings are necessarily bad either, but they are when they've been in the garbage with everything else (for example, the packaging from raw hamburger (because the other InstantPot had meatloaf in it))).
