This morning as Miranda was trying to postpone eating breakfast, she mused to her father that she wondered what she would be having for her snack at school.
"Maybe brussel sprouts," he suggested.
Miranda gave him a disparaging look. "No."
"Why not?" my husband asked. "Brussel sprouts are good for you."
"Brussel sprouts are for grown-ups."
"No, they aren't. Don't you think you'd like brussel sprouts?"
"No."
"Have you ever tried brussel sprouts?"
"No."
"Then how do you know you wouldn't like them?" my husband asked.
"Daddy," Miranda replied indignantly, "I'm not that kind of girl!"
A central place for me to post funny stories about my kids so I don't have to send out mass emails that get picked up by my friends' and families' spamfilters.

Haley's line is that her tummy doesn't like it or isn't in the mood for it. The rest of her is perfectly willing to try anything. However, her tummy is not as adventuresome and apparently has a bigger voice in making decisions regarding what it will accept. "I want to eat that spinach, but my tummy isn't in the mood for it." It has been a little frustrating dealing with since Mattie and Grace have always been willing and eager to try anything.
nice post. thanks.
