A recent incident reminded me of when I was concerned that my boy was a picky eater. I was seeking advice on how to get him to try stuff and came across a piece of advice to sneak off with food I want him to eat and act like I'm hiding it from him and don't want him to have it cuz it's sooo yummy. This is apparently irresistible to some kids; they will want whatever you are having even if they don't know and have never had what you are having! :D
The incident:
So I was munching on a black licorice twizzler and my boy starts eyeing it wistfully and he wants to know if it's candy. I tell him yes. So he wants some. :D
I remind him he doesn't like molasses and tell him licorice is made with molasses and has a strong flavor. He insists he doesn't recall ever trying molasses. I remind him he tried it this past summer and that he made yuck faces :yuk: but he still doesn't recall this so I relent. I tell him, "Try a little piece. If you like it I'll give you the rest."
So he nibbles a small piece of it and grins at me and gives me a thumbs up. I give him the rest of that piece. He takes another bite chews twice and then he starts with the shivering and making the yuck faces! OMG I laughed so hard! :D
I was thinking about that incident today and started laughing again so I felt like sharing. :D
Course ever nosy me, now I'm wondering what things your kids or kids you know have done that cracked you up? Do tell. :D
