I thought my aspiring little chef, 7-year-old Christian, would be excited to read his positive review on my blog, so I called him over to see my recent posts about some of his favorite recipes. He smiled to see himself on screen and began reading the text aloud. We shared a sweet mother-son moment until Christian reached the final caption detailing his new blue apron: "Christian is always eager to join me in the kitchen, so I thought he was long overdue for an apron. Now a canvas apron in his favorite color bears a logo for the ice cream shop of his dreams." He shot me a disappointed look and said curtly, "Mom, my favorite color is not 'bears-a-logo.' "
