Memory Lane: J's Early Gourmand Days #2

[I had made osso bucco, and the 3-year-old was not interested in supper]

Me: J! Come look what's on my plate! It's amazing! You won't believe it!

J (trots over - I give him my fork and tell him to tap the bone): It a BONE?

Me: Yep.

[I scooped some marrow out of the bone]

J: What that?

Me: That's called 'marrow'. It grows inside bones.

J: It for eating?

Me: Definitely.

J: I try it!

[and then he ate everyone's marrow, and when all the marrow was gone, he whined and tried to convince me to make more immediately]
