[Christian at dinner tonight eating an apple.]
Dinnertime at our house is anything but pleasant. I am inevitably barraged with comments like, "Ew, what's that?" or "I don't like those green things!," or my personal favorite - "How come you cook such gross stuff all the time?" (A Christian-ism, in case you're wondering). Tonight, one child (who shall remain nameless to protect the innocent) saw what was for dinner, turned over his plate in protest and immediately started whining, "I'm hungry!" I wonder if we could implement a vow of silence during meals like at a monestary............... One of our kids came up with a great idea. If someone complains, I could simply say (a la Howie Mandel), "Meal, or no meal?"
I feel for you! Hang in there! Know that you aren't the only one hearing those "eeewww" statements! If you find a cure, please let me know!
