A Noodle By Any Other Name

When the kitchen was all torn apart and my groceries in laundry baskets, Johnny found a bag of "Wacky Mac" that was leftover from soup in a jar that I made around Christmas time. It is spiral pasta with enough beet and carrot powder to make it so-called vegetable pasta. He wanted it, so I made him some the other day and he ate it.

Today he has not been eating well, so I asked if he wanted to have some orange pasta. He got all excited and ran into the kitchen and could barely sit still while I heated the pasta up.

Then I put it in front of him, he poked it and said, "That's not pasta...that's noodles!" I think he may have eaten a couple, but that's about all.

Later on he wanted to go outside, but Maureen was sleeping, so I said, "We can't go outside until Maureen wakes up." He said, "Maureen has to wake up first. MAUR-REEN!!!!!!!"
