Food Critic

Simon, talking about decorating for Christmas (after Thanksgiving is over) : "Is our tree fake or organic? "

A while ago, Simon learned what diabetes is. Since then, he's been concerned that he has it. He's also thought he had appendicitis. The other, day Simon asked what food poisoning is. I was vague (understandably, considering his recent run of health related fears). After I told him, this conversation ensued:
Simon : "Can you get food poisoning from fruit candies? " , which is what he calls fruit snacks. He was eating them at the time.
Me: No, you don't have food poisoning. You're a little hypochondriac. "
Simon : "What's that? "
Me: "Someone who thinks they have whatever anyone else has, whether they do or not. " Not the most accurate definition, I know.
Simon : "Oh. Is it contagious? "

Simon : "Oliver likes to eat so much I bet he's going to be a food critic when he grows up."
