Dessert Window


Chris and I had a great date night while Jackson hung out at Carson's house with Jana and Charles and Timmy.  When we went to pick him up Jana told us of a slight misunderstanding the resulted in a minor meltdown of Jackson that evening.  She went on to explain that it was such a nice day that she'd opened several windows in the home to let in the fresh air.  During dinner, the boys were taking their time eating, but were eagerly looking forward to ice cream for dessert.  At one point she told them that the dessert window wouldn't stay open all night and they they needed to finish up eating so they could enjoy their dessert.  Shortly thereafter, Jana started closing the windows in the house.  When she closed the window in the kitchen area where the boys were eating, Jackson started crying.  Jana couldn't understand why he was crying because nothing had happened.  She asked him what was wrong and he said, "You closed the dessert window and now we don't get any dessert!".  He literally thought that by closing the windows Jana had officially closed the "dessert window" for the night!!!!!!! Thankfully, she explained the metaphor to him and he got dessert.
