it's a friday night and i cooked supper. that doesn't even sound right. lets just say suppers this week have consisted of frozen waffles, pancakes and eggs. so, i decided to make a nice supper, with a vegetable and everything. i knew that dawson would have something to say about the "poppyseeds"...for some reason he is content to live on tacos.
why is it two children raised the EXACT same way eat and act totally different?! dodge inhaled two huge helpings of the poppyseed chicken...dawson pushed it around his plate, and said, "i dont like the taste of the seeds". seriously, can you really taste those things? anyway, he knows the drill: we will save his supper for later...when he is hungry. no snacks until the supper is gone.
then, doug takes the kids for a 3-wheeler ride...comes back a couple hours later. dawson is all excited about their adventure - they saw a skunk! and lots of deer! and he informs me that he is hungry & wants to eat his supper :) ok...this is going to be easier than i thought! i heat it up. he looks at it. he gets tears in his eyes, lays on the floor and tells me "it just dont look right".
meanwhile i get dodge bathed & dawson is still laying on the floor. i tell him he has a choice, and the choice is his...but we have to keep moving if he wants to watch "leave it to beaver" before bed.
next thing i know, he is in bed - pj's and all. he is crying and proclaims,"nobody loves me, nobody even cares about me!" wow, my sympathy is sapped right out. i tell him i DO love him and always will...but then i go about my business.
dude, this kid is sensitive. dodge told me to "quit being mean to my brother"
all i did was make poppy seed chicken.
we are haveing tacos tomorrow night.
Dad has sympathy for Dawson...he said he never liked anything different when he was a kid....and some things never change....Oh yeah..and dad says when he was a kid they atleast had some bread and honey with their meal so they didn't go completely hungry!
ReplyDeleteHere is a list of dad's foods that envoked the gag reflex{as a little boy}:
*ONIONS!
*any veggie except corn
*lumpy, fatty gravy
*whole unpasturized milk{from the farm}
*white butter{homemade}
*roast w/tons of fat on it
*and I think poppyseed chicken would have made the list!
So Dawson...you're not the lone ranger.....you just come over to gramma and grampa's house and we'll give you whatever you like.....hee,hee
