or how to break them without breaking them in half.
My son is very picky. He likes his sandwiches one way and ONLY one way. To suggest a variation of the norm is met with harsh criticism.
"Moooooooomm!"
(Insert heavy sigh and eye roll)
"I don't LIKE jelly. I just want my sandwich on bread, one piece, peanut butter, NO jelly, folded in half....*breath* like a rectangle NOT a triangle....okaaay?!"
The "I don't LIKE *insert food here*" line is getting annoying. Especially since he decides the value of a food BEFORE he tries it.
So I point out that he has not had jelly on a sandwich in 3 years. MAYBE he does like it.
He insists he doesn't and that tasting is unnecessary.
I accidentally make only one one piece, peanut butter, no jelly, folded in half, not a triangle sandwich. The rest have jelly.
He is really hungry.
I refuse to make more till the ones I made are gone.
He sits.
His sister giggles.
He sits.
I answer the phone.....and when I return one is missing.
He looks guilty.
I ask how it tasted and he admits it is fine.
Now he asks for a "One piece, peanut butter, NO jelly (even though I like it) sandwich, folded in half like a rectangle, not a triangle."
I think I won, but I'm not sure.
