How To Make Your Own Yummy

While SuperHubby was in Morocco, I may have had a minor meltdown once or twice. Planning the most complex move to date of his military career while he was out of the country had its challenges, and when you add kids who are… well… kids, and cats who are… well… cats, sometimes the sanity has to give.

One morning was particularly bad, and it started well before the kids were up. So by the time they were asking for breakfast, I was in total “I don’t care” mode. I had a plain pizza crust (bread), ricotta cheese (milk), nutella (coconut oil and hazelnuts), and strawberries (fruit), so I slathered layers of everything onto the pizza crust and gave the kids a well-rounded, delicious breakfast. (Anybody else thinking about Bill Cosby and chocolate cake here?)

Munchkin asked me what it was called.

“Yummy,” I told him, complete with the Duh inflection that I expect him to master entirely too young since I’m silly enough to use it in front of him from time to time.

What I’d forgotten, however, was how literal children are. The next morning, I was fine, the meltdown a distant (and somewhat hazy) memory. I got up and showered, the kids got up, and I asked them what they wanted for breakfast.

“Yummy,” Munchkin said. No hesitation, no waffling (heh – breakfast joke), no mistaking it.

And I stood there and gaped at him like an idiot. “Yummy? Munchkin, you’re going to have to be more specific–Oh! Yummy!”

So there you have it.

Strawberry nutella ricotta pizza has officially been renamed Yummy.
