I want a flamingo

At random, driving thru the neighborhood, Alex would tell me "Mommy, I want a flamingo".  I hadn't seen a lawn flamingo to prompt this, but his eyes are much more keen than mine.   I dismissed it with positive comments, like "oh, they are neat aren't they"... and we would both drop the conversation there.

As a reward for getting ready on his own one morning, I offered Alex a lollipop.  He immediately jumped up and down and exclaimed "I want a flamingo one"...

Mango. 

He wanted a mango lollipop the whole time.

He's so patient with me sometimes.
