Poor defenseless pretzels!

Yesterday Lilyanna was eating some of these:

Which for the record are THE BEST gluten free pretzels out there. In fact the non-gf people in the family like these better than the regular pretzels because they're crunchier.  

Anyway, as she was playing with her pretzel sticks she was making them talk to each other. This was the conversation two of the sticks had as per Lilyanna:

Pretzel 1:  What do you want to do?

Pretzel 2: I know! Let's go shopping!

Pretzel 1: Great! Where should we go shopping?

Pretzel 2: Let's go shopping in Lilyanna's mouth!

Pretzel 1: Great idea!

And then she stuffed them both in her mouth and crunched them to bits and swallowed.

I was reminded of this story of Caleb from about the same age.

So out of curiosity. Are everyone's children having creepy conversations with their snack foods at this age, or is it just mine?

And speaking of Caleb and creepiness...

While I was gone, Todd reported having this conversation with Caleb one night as he was laying down reading to him:

[Caleb gives Todd a hug and then begins to strangle him]

Todd: Caleb, please don't do that.
Caleb: Why not?
Todd: Because it hurts me.
Caleb: And it can kill you.
Todd: Yes. And it can kill me.

While disturbing, my one bright spot in all of this is that if we are ever in some post-apocalyptic world, I want Caleb on my team.
