Well, she's three. I'm not too concerned.

All the same, when I bought some Sri Lankan food yesterday, I ate most of it where she couldn't see. But I still had two with me when I went upstairs for a visit, and Ana asked me for some. And she really wanted to try some, even after I warned her that it was very spicy.

So I gave her a fish ball. And she ate the whole thing, even when it meant she had to breathe heavily through her opened mouth.

And then, a minute or so later, she started running, I mean running back and forth in the hallway, screaming* at the top of her lungs! I expected flames to shoot out of her mouth and ears! AND SHE WAS STILL PUTTING IT IN HER MOUTH WHILE SHE WAS RUNNING!

I literally collapsed on the floor and just cracked up. Eventually, Jenn gave her some soy milk and calmed her down. Ana had already done this that evening with some of a mutton roti she'd been given, and then proceeded to do so *again* after taking some *more* mutton roti. Maybe her palate is expanding?

All I know is, this was hilarious. I mean, absolutely hysterical.

*_{Ana says "No, I wasn't screaming, I was shrieking." I've had so many conversations on this subject, especially when I was her age, I'm not even arguing.}
