Sweet potatoes and a not-so-sweet-mom...

Hailey has a new fascination with sweet potatoes.
I brought some home from the grocery store, put them on the counter and she started screaming, "baby, baby, baby!!"
It took me a second to realize her baby was a sweet potato.
She proceeded to wrap it in a kitchen towel, dad added a little face to it and she played and played with it.
She walked off and I assumed she was done playing so I took the sweet potato, cut off the skin, chopped it in pieces and began to cook it.
Then I hear this sweet voice say,
"baby?"
"baby?"
as she is taking the remains of her sweet potato baby out of the garbage.
I had to hurry and take her outside to swing
so we could carefully and secretly hide the rest of her sweet potato baby.
I know, I know...
