Donuts

Colin tends to hear words differently from time to time. For example, olives are all-lips.

Blake makes up his own words that associate with something else. For example, "Charlie" is chocolate milk. He confuses the edible part with the person in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

Here's a moment where confusion caused chaos.

Blake often times just wants "Charlie" as an appetizer, and then will decide what he wants to eat. The other night I was explaining that I wanted him to go and get something to eat with me first. He wasn't interested, so Colin tried helping out.

"Blake! Do you want hot dogs or donuts? We get chicken and french fries there!"

It took me a minute to figure out what he was talking about. Then I realized that "donuts" was "McDonalds". Of course now Blake is crying for actual donuts for dinner. I told Colin, "....it's McDONALDS, Buddy." A few seconds goes by....

Colin says, "Oh. Okay.......Blake! Do you want McDONUTS?"

Thanks for the help, Colin. I know your intentions were good.
