Children as Drug Dogs

I know, I know, child labor and bad environment and all that. Seriously though, Desiree was trying to get Zachary to eat some chili the other day. Kidney beans, meat, tomato paste, we've all been there. Zachary only wants the corn bread (probably because I have taken to calling it 'corn cake' to get them to eat it). Zachary demolished his to crumbs getting it into his maw. Yes, look it up, its appropriate.
So Desiree puts a smidgeon (also appropriate) of chili on a spoon and cleverly disguises it with 'cake' crumbs. Zachary won't have it. He just turns his head. Well, he also whined, but I digress. So Desiree dumps it off the spoon, except cleverly again for one bean. Crumbs back on, up to Zach's face, no go. So then for an experiment she dumps the last bean, and a full spoon of 'cake' crumbs go into the mouth no problem.
These kids could detect kryptonite in a lead box. Love em.

That kid is crazy. There are few better foods in the world than chili.

How was your Thanksgiving?
