Overheard today …
In the health food store, a mom and her (I’m guessing) 3 year old.
Daughter … comments on the salad, and says she has those at daycare.
Mom … nods.
Daughter … comments on some of the fresh fruit.
Mom … nods.
Mom … says its time to pick out a treat … AN ONION!
Daughter … “But I don’t like onions!”
Mom … “of course you like onions! are you going to pick a red one or a white one?”
Daughter (with gusto) … “I DON’T LIKE ONIONS!!!”
Mom … pushes cart over to the onions.
Daughter (cleverly changes topic) … “I’m thirsty! Can I please have some juice?”
Mom … “You know juice is bad for you!”
Some days, it sucks to be 3!
My own internal dialogue wonders what kind of world this family lives in that makes onions treats and juice pure evil, but that’s another post ;)
