While driving in the car this morning....
6YO- Mom, you need to start packing me more food for my lunch and snack.
Me- Why?
6YO- Because when I'm really hungry I eat a lot of my lunch during snack time and then I eat at lunch and there's not a lot left.
Me- But you don't eat everything I pack for you.
6YO- Sometimes I do if I like everything you send. How about I pack my own lunch?
Me- How about this, how about I pack more food in your lunch box but I will put a fruit or vegetable in your snack bag with your regular snack, and if you eat just two bites of the healthy stuff, then you can have the rest..... and I will pack more snacks and a bigger lunch for you.
LONG PAUSE....
6YO- Okay, never mind.
What makes 'em think they can outwit mother wisdom? LOL
