Last night I picked up a pizza from Whole Foods for supper. We all sat at the table to eat and Jacob kept asking for broccoli ("baak-eee!"). Normally, Jacob asks for chips for supper ("bis!"), so we are in the habit of saying "No" to these requests. When he kept asking for broccoli, I had determined that he would eat what was on the table. Finally, Jacob got so upset, we gave up on supper and let him down from his chair.
Art and I discussed the situation. What kind of horrible parent forces their kid to eat pizza when all he really wants is broccoli? I went and made him some broccoli. He ate a huge bowl of it.
This is a good story. I'm sure it was incredibly frustrating at the moment but it got a laugh out loud from me.
