Shrinking Graham Crackers

Take a close look at this picture. There is a funny story behind those two little crumbs that Elliot is putting there.

So he had been asking for a "snack" all morning, but in Elliot-speak, a "snack" means marshmallows. So I told him that he could have some graham crackers. Of course, he put up a HUGE stink and said he didn't like graham crackers! Tears were shed and I asked him if he wanted to color.

So coloring was going OK, so I decided to offer him the graham crackers again. Elliot said, "No! I don't like graham crackers!"

I told him that he could try a bite and if he didn't like them, he didn't have to eat them. So he took a bite and put them back down, telling me that he still didn't like them. I turned away to get something and when I came back there wasn't much left to the crackers! I just gave Elliot a look and he informed me, " I'm just making them smaller. I gotta make them smaller, see?"

Certainly did make them smaller!
