Food Fight

I didn't think he'd notice - just a little bit of carrot, disguised in a spoon of fruit pudding.

The Kid had shown no interest in his dinner, mashed tatoe, burgers and carrots. He miraculously recovered his appetite when I opened a pot of apple and plum dessert though.

The left over plate of food was still on the table, so I thought, why not? I got a little bit of carrot and a big spoon of the fruity goo, and popped it in. I doubted he'd realise; what a great way of getting some extra vitamins down him!

Mom 1 - 0 Kid

The carrot and plum mush last about two minutes before the whole lot was spat down his top, followed by an indignant howl of rage.

I mopped him up and offered him another spoon. He gave me a mortified look. "What, do you think I'm ever going to trust you with anything ever again? How could you, you charlatan!" Is what I'm sure he thought.

He did of course, get over the insult and force himself to finish the rest of his pudding, keeping a very watchful eye on the spoon throughout.

Mum 0 - 1 Kid.

Round 1 to The Kid.
