Theo, lately

Theo is a wordsmith. He is insightful and ever willing to share his thoughts on all matters. 



He is also a seafood enthusiast. Anything that comes out of the ocean is delicious to Theo. 


(When cousin Nick declined the offer to sample this freshly caught, raw conch, Theo happily took a bite. He described it as a "large, tasty, firm gummy worm".)

A few weeks ago, I was prepping salmon for dinner. Theo was drawn to the kitchen and seeing the fish, soy sauce, and garlic proceeded to pepper me with questions-

"Oh, is that soy sauce going to go on the salmon?" 
--- yes
"Mmm. That garlic will be great in there too." 
--- Thanks, Theo. I hope so.
"So, have you ever tried this recipe before?" 
--- Nope
"Yessss!" 
....

With a single word, he managed to express his thoughts on all previous dinner attempts I have ever provided.

Thanks, Theo.
