Scene: Our kitchen at lunch time. I have just offered Grant a sandwich….
Grant: “My heart is telling me to have ice cream.”
Me: “After you have a sandwich, you may have a little ice cream.”
Grant: “If I don’t have it, my heart will stop talking to me.”
How do you respond to that?

This is adorable!

How cute is that? I would have been tempted to give him the whole container of ice cream.
Connie Weiss says
I don’t even know what to say….but I know that my ASS wants ice cream….
Emily says
And I thought my son was persuasive. Man, he is good!
Becca @ The Texas Darlings says
My heart wants ice cream 24/7. I am denying it. Does that mean my heart won’t talk to me anymore too mom???

Ahhh man don’t you just hate when they come up with something so cute that you don’t know how to deny them what they are asking for! Kids these days are just WAY too smart for us 🙂
Kelli says
Not listening to his heart may keep him out of a lot of trouble.
jenjen says
That’s so cute! My 10 year old is an ice cream addict. She eats it every day. I swear she exists on ice cream!
XOXO

Jennifer says
He sure is one smart kid. :o)
Amanda says
LOL! Does his heart tell him to clean his room, eat all his veggies? My son always says his brain tells him that he wants stuff, or the best one (when he gets in trouble) I cant stop my brain from controlling my body!
Jen says
He is very very precious, and reminds me of someone close to me 🙂
Lisa@Pickles and Cheese says
Give that boy a double scoop just for being so cute!
Xazmin says
Oh my…I don’t even know what to say to that!
That kid is a riot!
MiMi says
And THAT is how my kids get away with so much. So cute!
Lauren says
I hope you gave him some ice cream!
Keetha Broyles says
Oh, this is such a cute little tale.
It reminds me of a book called “Ice Cream for Breakfast” that I used to LOVE to read as a kid. Basically it was about a family who took in an undisciplined street kid who only wanted to eat ice cream. The mom GAVE him his wishes – – – only here’s the catch – – – she ONLY gave him ice cream meal after meal after meal.
His heart didn’t WANT ice cream anymore and all got “right” with the world!
♥Amber Filkins♥ says
Oh my goodness, that is just TOO cute!!
I want a little boy. 🙂
Cindy says
Oh how sweet. I’m a sucker though…would probably halve his sandwich and request he at least TRY to eat the half and then start scooping ice cream and then ask if he wants chocolate syrup on it.
Ali says
For a response like that, I’d give him the ice cream!
shortmama says
I wonder if that would work for me too!?
mama-face says
Hand over the Ice Cream Sandwich?
(Probably been said…but I just had to add my 2 cents.)
🙂
Lynn says
Give the little guy’s heart what it wants!!!!!
And do it NOW!!!
Shawn says
Dessert first never hurt!
Tammy Howard says
With ice cream? Just a guess…
Krystyn says
Kids these days are just too smart:)
Vivian says
Oh this is too funny!!
Angie S says
Ha! Sounds like something my daughter would say.
Kim says
Oh I just love this!!
