Well Lily once again made me nearly pee my pants tonight. I am a part of a dinner exchange with a couple of frirnds. Well tonight Brooke brought us a AWESOME dinner with my favorite veggie of all time... artichokes! Well I was making some garlic butter to dip it in, and Lily seemed very intruigued. If it comes with butter, it must be good! So I make her a plate and ask her to try a artichoke. My daughter LOVES green veggies, even CREAMED SPINACH! She tries it, and likes it... "tastes like a green bean mommy!" So I explain to her the meat part of the artichoke is called the HEART. Well thats when she lost interest in the artichoke. She looks at me like I just gave her puppy away, oh yea I did just do that (Roxy is in a great home now!) She then says "You fed me heart? I ate a heart? Veggies have hearts?" Then she thinks for a second and says "veggies dont have hearts, people have hearts. WAIT, veggie tales talk, do they have hearts? Oh mommy I cant eat them if they have hearts". I was sitting there shocked that my daughter said that. But then I laughed, and tried to explain to her..... well you know. I think she is OK, she might become a total carnivore and never eat a veggie again.....should I tell her that cows and chickens DO have hearts? I dont think so.

Too cute! That's 1 smart cookie you've got there!
ok first off, IMPRESSIVE parenting to get your child to not only eat VEGGIES, but to LIKE them! Kudos!! Second of all...that is HILARIOUS! I feel terrible sometimes when it dawns on me just how literally children see the world and how confusing that must be. Eating vegetables with HEARTS?!? The inhumanity! ;) ;)
