I'm sending this to my mom.
9/8/2008 at 9:04 pm
So there I was, sitting on my mom's couch while visiting and she was busy in the kitchen making my three year old a peanut butter and jelly. Mind you he just ate lunch, but wait you're going to grandmas... they could be so full they're ready to pop and no matter what you do whenever you go to grandma's (or mimi in our family) house they act like you haven't fed them in days. So I'm sitting, relaxing, enjoying a few moments of quite time and then I hear... "Mimi, this is the best peantut butter and jelly sandwich I've ever had" Their eyes meet and Mimi's gleaming from ear to ear. Awe... that's sweet you say, then you hear " Mom why did you cut the crust off for him. I didn't start that and he eats the crust". Why did you do that?! Then little boy says, "Mimi, you made my sandwich just the way I like it, NO CRUST" So there I sit cringing at the thought.... Why is it, that we want them to indulge in the crust. It's not like it will really teach them to whistle, will it?
