Flower Noodles

A real conversation I just had with Tess and Cole:

Me: Tess! Look what I found! Should we have flower pasta for dinner?

Tess: No.

Me (trying a new tactic): I mean flower noodles.  Should we have flower noodles for dinner?

Cole (who is wearing headphones for his computer and thus thinks he has to yell): FLOWER NOODLES?! I WANT TO SEE! I WANT TO SMELL THEM!

Me: Um, they don't smell...

Cole: I WANT TO SMELL THEM! LET ME SMELL THEM!

Me: Um, okay. But they don't smell like flowers...

I put the box by his nose and he gives it a good sniff.

Cole: YUMMY.  I LIKE FLOWER NOODLES. I WILL EAT THEM.

Me: Good to know, weirdo.

Cole: WHAT?!

Me: Nothing...
