Toddler Koans

Why did the toddler fall upon the floor and weep?
Because the mother did not serve his gummy fruit snacks in a bowl.

II
Why does the toddler continue to weep?
Because the mother put the gummy fruit snacks in an orange bowl when the toddler really really wanted a red one.

III
The mother wished to enlighten the toddler.
The mother asked, “Have you eaten your gummy fruit snacks?”
The toddler replied, “Yes, I have.”
The mother said, “Then go clean your bowl.”
At that moment, the toddler turned around and continued watching “The Octonauts.”
