A taste of my own medicine

Last week I picked Laney and Adam up to take them to the dentist. They missed lunch at daycare and I grabbed happy meals. I know, I know...not the best choice, but I do the best I can some days. So we are sitting in the car in the dentist parking lot eating, and I am holding the toys from the happy meals hostage up in front until they eat. Adam Jr. brings me up his bag of food. I notice that he has eaten all his fries, but NONE of his nuggets. I admonish him, "Adam, I am not giving you this toy, you have not eaten even ONE nugget!" He replies confidently, "They are not even GOOD for me Jen."

Uh. Yes, you are right. I cannot argue with that logic. So I laugh a little, and he sees this as a green light to continue, "Maybe next time you should get us the apples or something at least to go with it so we have something healthy to eat."

Beaten at my own game, I handed over the toy.
