As the girl and I were cruising through Target today wasting time before we picked the boy up from school, a random thought came to me. ‘Go check the Mexican section for Spongebob Taco Kits‘
You may recall I’ve been looking for them for ages. The last time I researched them another mom told me they had found them on clearance somewhere so I thought that was the end of that. A five year-old boys dreams…crushed.
So I wheeled us over to the ethnic isle and there he was…that annoying sponge staring up at me.
Being the good mom that I am, I shelled out the $3 for the taco kit I was sure the boy would be excited about…but not in a million years eat. I have mentioned this kid is worse than **Mikey, right?
Not only was he UBER excited to cook dinner tonight, he did not fuss about washing his hands which was a nice treat.
Of course the entire thing is just a regular Ortega Taco Kit. The only difference is that the seasoning packet had a picture of Patrick on it and the taco sauce had the sponge. The box also boasted of ‘two free taco holders’ which sounded cool in theory but ended up looking like this:
I didn’t have high hopes for dinner tonight. I was sure I was going to be making a grilled cheese or hot dog immediately after he saw these…but guess what?
He ate THREE!!!!!
And all because of that ridiculous sponge that drives me INSANE on a daily basis. After I did the mommy happy dance all around the house celebrating the fact that we now have one more food to add to his very limited five year-old approved foods list, the hubs reminded me of something.
Sometime last year just after the boy discovered Spongebob and the magical world or Bikini Bottom, he actually ate his very first cheeseburger..which he of course called a Krabby Patty and continues to do so to this day. In fact, I don’t think either me or the hubs have called a burger a burger since that day. We are all about Krabby Patties in this house. And well…now Krabby Tacos.
****Don’t remember who “Mikey” is…check it out after the jump…vintage commercial coolness….
