Thanny's Playdate

Many of you have heard about Thanny's play date last weekend with a neighbor boy a year older than him. It was all very exciting for Thanny, of course. The cutest part was when the two boys sat down to have some pudding together. They sat in silence for a while, then Thanny said, "At your house, do you use a napkin or a paper towel". The neighbor boy responded "napkin". A silent minute or two later Thanny took another stab at getting the conversation rolling: "at your house, do you use a fork or a spoon?" "Spoon" was the decisive response. It made for a great story and seemed harmless enough until dinner the next evening, when Thanny absolutely insisted upon trying to eat with a spoon. Anyway, this is the playdate... Thanny's friend (who really is a cute little guy) is making a face here, obviously, but I feel that it is a face that accurately reflects the spirit of the playdate.
