That's just crazy talk!

Owen is in a phase where he has little conversations with himself--it's quite entertaining, really. It happens most often while he's pretend playing. But last night, he started jabbering away at dinner. Not to Richie, Jeremy, or me...just kind of to his plate. It was mostly indecipherable, but we kept hearing him say "eel onion" as he ate. (To assure you that we were not feeding our child eel for dinner, we had a lovely meal of salmon croquettes, boiled cabbage, and squash casserole.) Owen next started referring to the cabbage as eel onion. Richie and I both tried explaining to him that it is called cabbage, cab-bage. Owen said, "Oh, eel onion is just Spanish for 'food'--okay?" at which point we said, "Oooooh, okay!" and finished our eel onion with a smile.
