If I had only lied...my kid would have never morphed into a blueberry yesterday.

(Willy Wonka) Well, I told you I hadn't quite got it right, 'cause it goes a little funny when it gets to the dessert. It's the Blueberry Pie that does it. I'm terribly sorry!
(Violet Beauregarde) Mother, what's happening to me?
(Grandpa Joe)She's swelling up!
(Charlie) Like a blueberry!
(Willy Wonka) I've tried it on, like, twenty Oompa-Loompas and each one ended up as a blueberry. It's just weird!

 

This is what happens when you leave your kid alone with a blue snow cone while you water your in-laws plants:

Way to use that spoon bud!  I knew I could trust you with the blue icy alone in the back seat.

                                                   

Still good...a little around the mouth and a smidgen on the car seat.   Totally fixable with a quick wipe down.    Let's go to Moma and Papa's house so that you run around the yard with your blue icy while I occasionally look up from watering the flowers to make sure you haven't jumped the fence!

What this picture doesn't show you is that the BLUE from the icy bled through the shirt and dyed his stomach blue too.

I don't know why I agreed to the the "Blue Ice".

In fact, I don't know why I even asked...His ability to ID colors correctly is still a work in progress.

I could have handed him a nice white snow cone and just lied by telling him it was blue.
Lesson Learned?  Sometimes you're just better off lying to a toddler.
