We were at a Japanese Hibachi restaurant tonight as a family. For dessert, they had two flavors of ice cream. When DH, DD9, my mom and I had decided what we wanted DS3 was still deciding. He said" I guess I'll have strawberry then" and made a funny face. I asked him why he ordered strawberry (not his favorite by any means) he said: "Well, to make a pattern, I HAD to, Mom". Sure enough DH on his left had vanilla, DS had strawberry, I had vanilla, DD next to me had strawberry and my mom at the end had vanilla. How he thought of a pattern, and why he thought he HAD to make one, is beyond me. We had a good laugh and DS ate the strawberry ice cream.
