Rainbows

Sometimes we let the kids eat sugar cereal, such as Apple Jacks or "Special Cheerios" which are basically Fruit Loops with some extra oat content. Anyway, the girls are sort of oblivious as to the finer distinctions between the different brands, and Elizabeth tends to just call them Apple Jacks, regardless of what's in the bowl.

So, as we were talking at bedtime the other night, Parker remarked to me, "Elizabeth says Apple Jacks but they are really Special Cheerios. Apple Jacks are green and orange. Special Cheerios are... they are... like the big slide next to Peter's house."

He's referring to the rainbow-colored slide in the McDonald's Play Place near the Marcus house in Culver City.
