Anole Canolli??

A cute little anole - these green lizards are everywhere in our backyard...

The dessert in question just happens to be pronounced the same way as the kid's favorite backyard creature...

We took Daddy to a really neat Italian restaurant for a Father's Day treat. The XO always tries to get the kids to try new foods and he was offering SSG AJ a bite of his canolli for dessert.

"Here AJ, try this canolli"

"What is it? An anole? Is there anoles in there?" She grabs the canolli to look inside.

"No sweatheart, it's a CA-noli, not an A-nole. It's got creamy stuff inside. Try it, it's yummy"

"Are you sure there are no anoles in there???"

At this point I was trying my best not to laugh out loud at our little girl who was convinced that there was a little green lizard in her dessert!
