can we blame Milo?

so here's the story---and i'm stickin' to it.
when you choose names---sometimes you dont think about if there will be stuff with the child's name on it---expecially those of you who spell your kids' names weird (pet peeve---but i'll be okay)----truly---met a woman whose name is Caitriona-----KATRINA---really?  REALLY?  reallyreallyreally????????

deep breath

i remember Lyric as a child commenting that there was never anything with her name on it---so one date night at Grapevine Mill Mall, David & I found a kiosk that did personalized license plates---little ones---so we had them do one for Lyric---she was thrilled!

back to the story:
I have a grandson named Milo.  (lyric's son---she's about to have a baby named Pyper---seeing a trend?)
not much with Milo's name on it.  So david saw some dogfood snack/treats---brand name Milo's Kitchen---so, of course, being married to me---he got them!
so now---conveniently---I have a grandson named Jonas...his name is not the issue----Jonas is an eater----well---jonas is a chewer ---(side story---jonas eats most everything---but only for awhile---then he spits it out---he eats watermelon--til the good juice is gone---then you find watermelon all over the floor---also true of apples, noodles, meatballs, chicken nuggets---yeah---he's a chewer)

back to the story:
Jonas is at the house---points to the bag of dogfood treats (milo's kitchen brand) and so I, being the GRANDmother that i am---get the bag and open it---anticipating letting Jonas and Cannon give the dogs (lucy, chloe and chip--since we are talking about names---just fyi)---a treat---but NO! as fast as you can say JO--------nas!---he has dipped his hand in and tossed a treat IN HIS MOUTH!---now these are chicken meatballs---soft---like a human meatball (not a meatball made of human---but a meatball a human would/should eat).

now normally i dont get overly concerned about the babies eating dogfood (oops---my daughters probably are reading this)---cause its mostly cereal-type and all sorts of healthy bi-products---and who doesnt like a good bi-product now and then)--but for some reason this creeped me out----and he didnt chew it---he just held it in his mouth!  with the dogs following him ---hoping he would do the Jonas thing and spit it out---and finally----Lucy was the winner in the "eat whatever comes out of Jonas' mouth" contest.

i blame Milo---if his name was Peggy Sue we wouldnt have had this problem.

...oh, and wait a second...I meant to say NO, we cannot blame Milo! Let's blame the dogs.

so funny! gross, but funny. cade is a chewer, too. but he doesn't spit it out. he just keeps it in his cheek until it's time to eat something else or I make him spit it out.

best line of the post: "who doesn't like a good bi-product now and then." love it.

oh, and I love the name pyper!

Actually, I think you should blame Lyric...she named Milo!

Ok, so I DON'T blog stalk, but I was reading Katie's blog and enjoying all the stories about Linda and she linked your story back to your blog. So I thought there might be more stories about Linda and saw this post. It interested me because I have a son named Milo and we are ALWAYS looking for things with our kids' names on them. Anyway, we found this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milo_%28drink%29 which is MUCH better tasting than dog treats.

Thanks for the laugh though!
