Ever since two of my best blog friends gave me the mother of all new mother gifts – a gift certificate in an obscene amount to my fave local purveyor of spicy tuna rolls – there’s been quite a bit of Japanese food eaten in front of the TV in the Mom101 household. Thalia even experimented with the cuisine at our suggestion, if only by dipping a single chopstick into the soy sauce and licking it off, each time commenting, “Mmmm. Sushi.”

So Nate and I weren’t entirely surprised when we asked her what she wanted for dinner and her response was, “sushi.”

“Okay sweetie,” Nate said, as he went to the kitchen to make her some rice with a side of soy sauce.

“NO,” she exclaimed shaking her head wildly. “DOOR.”

She wanted it delivered.
