Conversations

It's lunch time and I'm running around like crazy trying to get food to the table for 3 kids and fold a basket of clothes before they become unacceptably wrinkly. I was probably not at my most patient, especially as I was super hungry myself.

William: mom! I don't like this fruit! I hate these dried blueberries.

Mom: what? You've never tried them. It's like raisins, but with blueberries. You like raisins, try these.

William: I just know I don't like them! I'm not eating them! I won't!

Mom: how about you just try a few?

William: (yelling loudly) I WILL NOT!! I WON'T EAT THEM!

Mom: William, you need to talk to mom in a different voice - this one isn't very nice.

William: (now in a higher pitch voice) I do not want these blueberries. I don't like them. I won't eat them*.

And then it took everything I had not to laugh out loud.

* he ended up eating them. Because they are a lot like raisins and we love raisins. Also: because I knew he would like them.
