Ahh Children. . .

No matter how long I watch children, I will never understand some of their logic.

Today it's Kristen who has me confused. For those who don't know her, she is a very energetic 3 1/2 year old. She loves her big brother, her mommy and daddy, and her Brian and Julie! She like to play babies and tea party, loves to watch Dora and Spongebob!! She can have the patience of a saint, or act like the devil himself, at her whim. . .

But today my questioning is over food. She is the pickest eater, mostly prefering chicken (only in leg or nugget form) and frozen waffles (still frozen). The other day I made mac and cheese, asked her if she wanted any, to which the reply was, "Yucky, I don't like that!" Um ok, but you used to like it. . . Well 5 minutes later she standing next to me eating all of mine. (Not that that's a problem I really shouldn't be eating it anyway) So fast forward to today. I asked her what she wants for lunch. After I talk her out of another frozen waffle into a grilled cheese, she replies, "But DON'T cook it!!!!" Kristen, Honey that's a cheese sandwich, not a grilled cheese. So anyway I make her sandwich first, then grilled Brian a ham and cheese sandwich. . . and finally make a salad for myself. By the time I sit down to eat, the child has finished her sandwich and is wandering over to see what's in my bowl. My salad of lettuce, ham, cheese, scallions, and poppyseed dressing was just too hard for her to pass up. . . the child who wouldn't eat anything besides frozen waffles, ungrilled grilled cheese, and chicken suddenly had the need to devour my entire salad. . . so I question you, what goes through the mind of children?
