As we were finishing up dinner tonight, part of the dinner conversation, and an action by Cecily gave reason for us all to laugh. Here it is:
Ariel: Dad didn't eat his tomatoes.
Me: Well, if Dad wants to die because he doesn't eat his vegetables...
Then I glance over at Cecily's plate which has her untouched salad on it
Me: and set a bad example for Cecily I guess that's his choice.
Ariel: Yup, Cecily's gonna probably die too because she won't even touch her vegetables.
We all look over at Cecily, who quietly, but quickly reaches over and touches her cucumber.
I guess by taking Ariel's comment literally, she feels she is safe, and all is well. Hey she did touch them, right?
LOL....gotta love kids.
BTW--before I get any bad comments that I should not be telling my family members they are going to die b/c they don't eat their vegetables: I'm already aware that it is not the smartest choice in words for a mother, but hey, after years of trying to get them to eat vegetables, any vegetable, I'm desperate. Oh, and don't tell me to shred them or blend them up (the vegetables, of course) and add them to food---that's way too much work, and I'm just not that good of a mom. Besides, if I did that, they would have to eat the whole entire dish of "whatever" to still get the serving size. But I do appreciate your concern. Smiles...

That is too funny! I wonder if your techniques would work on Marc...think I'll give it a try.lol!
The even funnier thing is that later on Ariel brought up the conversation again and Mike said,"maybe I didn't eat the tomatoes b/c I thought they would kill me. You know the whole samonella thing."
Yeah right, what's been his excuse for the last 13 years before that scare happened. And the place I bought the tomatoes had a letter stating they were FDA approved. HA! LOL
