One of them will be the death of me

Can you guess which one?

I made a Thai-influenced soup for lunch:

Junebug took his spoon, dug in, and proclaimed, "Tasty!"*

Sprout looks in her bowl and without tasting it, wails, "I like shrimp, I like calamari, I like chicken; what a bad surprise this is, having them all together! And rice! I didn't want my rice mixed in!"

o.O

* Yes, I made the soup, so I might be biased, but it was very tasty.

Oh Sprout. The tragedy of Food that Touches.

What a perfect icon! LOL

What is it about kids and hating having their food touch other food? It seems to be nearly universal. Like it's part of our genetic makeup.

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

I know! Except I was never this way. I just thought it happened to "other people" and now I have a kid with this genetic "flaw." :P

Sounds like good soup to me! I wish I had something to counteract the cold, rainy, windy weather we've had for over a week.

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Oooo! I would definitely send you soup if you could send me some of your weather!

Ha! I don't know how many times that's happened to us. Plus, the opposite, where someone doesn't like, say, cheese, tomato or ham, but somehow devours everything when it's part of pizza...

I guess it is true that misery loves company because it makes me feel better to hear about other people having the same struggles. :P

I was taken aback to discover my husband still feels this way. I bought a divided container for lunches that involve multiple foods for him. He was pleased. . .

oh, I suppose hearing he didn't grow out of it isn't comforting, is it? Sorry!

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

You are right: That is not comforting. :P

[cathemery.livejournal.com]

OTOH, he has learned to eat soup and stew without separating ingredients. I'll hope for the best for your Sprout.

And your sanity. ;)

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

I'll take all the hopes I can get. ;)

A highly analytical comment. She's very bright.

LOL

That's a good way of looking at it positively. :P
