He lived with us for almost a year (with his parents) and we miss the little guy terribly. We have been video chatting almost nightly and that is fun, but not the same.
One of the things we did while here was share blueberries while reading “Blueberries for Sal”. We would touch our blueberries together and say “Happy Blueberry” before popping them into our mouths. We did that with other foods, too

While video chatting I had the bright idea of holding a blueberry and putting close to the camera while my son on the other end palms one and “takes it” from the phone. The action is so smooth it really looks like we are passing blueberries / cookies / chick peas / orange slices right through the phone.
The little guy does not know this is a trick. It is just a fun activity.

He tries to do “Happy Blueberry” with me and, of course, I have one ready so I can put it in my mouth.

I know we are misleading him. What will he think when he figures out what really happened? Are we damaging his future understanding of the world?
