Mmmm.....Crab Icecream

In the days preceding Spencer's sixth birthday, he communicated to me that he wanted to go out for a special birthday dinner. This special birthday dinner would take place after a sleepover with the cousins, a trip to Chuck E Cheese and a picnic with the family. He wanted Chinese food. I agreed. Subsequently he changed his mind. Apparently he loooves crab. It is soooo good. Plus he wants to try clams. I have no idea where all of this is coming from. But I would like to encourage it. Michael was more than a little concerned until I explained to him that seafood restaurants do in fact serve foods other than seafood. He was still skeptical. So could I order a hamburger or chicken? Yes. And would it be made out of seafood? No. It is reasonable, I thought to myself, that the boys would not understand that a seafood restaurant does not serve seafood exclusively. I was pleased to have cleared this up for them. I then suggested that we would be able to get something yummy for dessert after our dinner. "Like crab icecream?" Spencer asked sincerely. No. I suggested bananas foster (I guess I am still disappointed I did not get it on my birthday). Michael then inquired how they would make bananas foster out of seafood.
