Overheard in My Kitchen

Backstory: I try to enforce that my children (Will mostly) have to try 1 bite of something at dinner...whether they like it or not. My parents did this with my sister and me (I STILL HATE LIMA BEANS!!) and we both grew up to be relatively unpicky eaters.

Anyway, I was employing this trick tonight with Mr. Will as we were eating dinner. As he made faces and sniffed it and said, "This smells bad", I repeatedly told him that ONE bite was all he needed. He poked it in his mouth and started chewing, horrible face intact. So, I cheerily said, "See that wasn't so bad! It didn't kill you did it?" To which my still growly faced son replied, "I haven't swallowed yet"
