I think this is as good an insight into the mind of a three-year-old as anything.

When we were at QFC the other day, Iris zoomed in on a product called Wacky Mac, which is nothing more than rotini in four colors (white, orange, green, reddish-purple; I assume probably the purple is from beets and the orange from carrots). I made it for lunch by taking the bold step of opening a box of Trader Joe’s macaroni and cheese, pulling out the cheese packet, and substituting Wacky Mac for the elbow macaroni.

I liked the Wacky Mac. So did Iris. Mostly. This photo should explain everything.
