Koala Food

Cute Story.  Several months ago Mason, Eva and I were shopping at Wal-mart and we came across this puzzle in the toy section.  Mason is REALLY into puzzles - and he is also REALLY into koalas.  I think most of you are familiar with his stuffed koala "baby."  Anyway, Mason saw this puzzle and just couldn't stop talking about it.  I told him to put it on his Christmas list and maybe he would get it for Christmas.  He said ok. 
Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago.  Mike was home to keep the kids so I headed out to Wal-mart to do some kid-free grocery shopping.  I picked up this puzzle to hide away for Mason at Christmas.  Mason had also requested a special treat - oreo granola bars - so I picked those up too.  By the time I got home I had completely forgotten that I had purchased the koala puzzle.  Mason helped me carry in the groceries like he always does...and he saw his oreo granola bars in one of the bags.  He asked me to get him one.  I looked down in the bag and saw the box of bars, but apparently I have no eye-hand coordination because I picked up the koala puzzle and pulled that out instead.  As soon as I realized what I had done I tried to shove it back in the bag, hoping Mason hadn't seen it.  HE HAD.  But he didn't say what I thought he would.  He laughed and looked at me and said, "Mommy!  I asked for an oreo bar...that's koala food!!"  He laughed again and told me how silly I was by trying to give him koala food.  Two things are just SO CUTE to me about his reaction.  1.  He thinks you can buy koala food at the grocery store.  2.  His stuffed koala is so real to him that he thought I had actually purchased food for it at the grocery store.  I just LOVE IT!  I was worried he would ask for the koala food to feed his baby later, but thankfully he was so excited about the oreo granola bar that he forgot about the "koala food."  I have it hidden to give him for Christmas...so nobody better mention it to him!!  haha.  That kid just has the most amazing imagination.
