If I'm not ADD, I should be!

 I promise you if I didn't have ADD to begin with, I will by the time I get done raising my child! I really feel like I NEED to have ADD just to keep up with him!This child can go from one conversation to the next and never skip a beat and then go back to the first conversation you were having while I am still on the second conversation. My mind is swimming by the time I get done talking to him!
As he gets in the car today I ask the usual questions that I feel I have to every day- "did you have a good day?" "Did you get in trouble?" What did you have for lunch?" "Did you hit anyone, poke anyone's eye out, destroy the school?"- you know, normal questions you ask your child on a daily basis.
This is how the conversation today went...

Me: So, How was your day?
D: Good. What are we having for dinner? I'm hungry. (which is a perfect opportunity to lead into my next question)
M: I'm not sure. What did you have for lunch?
D: Weeeellll... (This always frightens me when he draws out well) I don't want you to get mad (another frightening sentence) this is the good part-I had a fruit cup and 1% milk
Me: And did you have anything else besides a fruit cup and milk
D: Yes, I had a corn dog BUT I DIDN'T HAVE KETCHUP!!! (I am REALLY trying to change what he eats and start him eating good food. I had told him Ketchup really isn't all that good for a person because it has a lot of sugar in it nevermind the fattening corn dog!) and it came with french fries. I couldn't do anything about the french fries because well, you know, they came with the corn dog so I had to eat them BUT I DIDN'T HAVE KETCHUP!! Oh and I had a chocolate chip cookie.
D: Did you know they serve corn dogs for breakfast (I am thinking it is something like a pancake on a stick or something like that- surely his school wouldnt serve corn dogs for breakfast?!)
Me: Uh huh. So when they do that I think a better choice would be something a little healthier like cereal or something?
D: I call Mondays Biscuit Mondays- they have sausage in the middle and are so delicious!
 Look I made finger friends (as he shows me faces he drew on each one of his fingers) don't worry it will wash off I didn't use marker or anything like that
Me: Oh those are cute (enter a slight, not a lot, hint of sarcasm here with a relief that no permanent marker was used)
D: Why don't I ride a bus to school?
Me: Well, they don't have a bus that goes to our neighborhood for your school because you are supposed to be in a different school.
D: Oh! Hey mommy, aren't you proud of me for having a fruit cup and 1% milk and NO KETCHUP??
Me: Uh huh. SUPER proud!

When we get home, I go out to the freezer to grab something for dinner. As I open it I see all the ice that has accumulated around the sides a nice color of red. Not sure if something has spilt, been slaughtered or exploded I start moving stuff around trying to figure out what had happened. And I find this at the bottom
Who has markers in their freezer? Who has markers in their freezers because their kiddo wanted to see if it would still write frozen? That would be me. Then as I am moving the food back around so I can close the door and I notice these.
You ask what "these" are? These would be rocks. I am not sure if anyone remembers last year when  Drew loaded up the whole backseat of my car with those white rocks that you use for a driveway? Yeah, he still likes rocks... Apparently he was doing some scientific experiment to see if rocks freeze as well.
