My Four-Year-Old Smells Like Onions

Chive Eating Four-Year-Old

He was outside this morning and pulled some chives from the garden to eat. He even ate the flowers. He really smelled like onions. Later on, I was reading a Magic Tree House novel to him and inserting phrases like, "Eating chives makes you smell like onions." He would say, "No, read it properly!"
