Rotten jelly

Yes, Justin and I are those people with a stocked pantry. A back up of everything. About a month ago on a family grocery outing Justin pick-up a jar of grape jelly becasue he knew our last jar of strawberry jelly was in the fridge. Elizabeth has recently taken a liking to PB&J so ever since then she's been wanting to open the grape jelly and I told her not until we finish the strawberry.

So the other night Elizabeth's in her own world "cooking" ie, cups, beads, plastic easter and baskets = apple and blueberry pie. (Yes, the girl is good a pretend play!) Out of the blue she comes up to me...

E: Can we make Easter eggs?
M: What are you talking about? (making sure we are both on the same page)
E: you know, color them.
M: No honey, it's too early, it's not Easter yet.
E: But we got our Easter stuff out.
M: Yes, we got the baskets out but if we dye eggs now they will rot.
E: We can put them in the fridge and they won't rot.
M: They will still rot in the fridge because Easter's still too far a way.
E: Why, I realllly want to color eggs.
M: Some things still rot even in the fridge.
E: The jelly is rot, we need to get the new jelly out.
M: (in my head, what a smarty pants we have on our hand, man are we in trouble!)
