Momma, I have a cough

While doing his morning search through in the house, Arlo discovered an open package of Halls. He pulled one out, came up to me and said, "Mama, I eat candy?" I quickly pulled the cough drop out of his hand and explained to him that these were yucky and they they were medicine for when you have a cough. He seemed to be contemplating this idea as I walked out of the room to put the cough drops out of reach. After a few moments I hear a little cough following me around. I looked at him as sincerely as I could and said "Arlo, what's wrong?" He looked up at me, as if I was an Idiot and exclaimed "I not cryin mama, I coughin. I need some throat candy!"
