Imagination ... or not

(preschool area, for Grandma)

Spencer: Wow, look at all the clouds! (pointing out the car window at scattered marshmallow-creme clouds dolloped across the sky)
Mommy: Ooo, aren't they neat? What do you think they look like? (waiting with bated breath for an imaginative response)
Spencer: Um ...
...
...
...
...
...
... Clouds!
Mommy: (disappointed but undeterred) I think they look like whipped cream someone squirted in the sky---psht! psht! psht! Or like scoops of fluffy mashed potatoes!
Spencer: ... Mommy, they look like clouds.

Maybe next time.

No denying he's a smarty though. We were reading 2 Nephi 2 tonight, which mentions Adam. Spencer piped up, "That's like Adam John. Adams. John Adams." (I've been listening to David McCullough's bio of the second president in the car ... guess Spencer's been listening too.) :)

And as promised, Grandma, here's a video of the adorable Isaac taking a walk.
