My daughter has the overwhelming urge to eat my food.  Specifically, my oatmeal.

It seems as though every time I make oatmeal,no matter how many servings I make....she is begging for more and ends up eating my breakfast.  I swear, it happens all the time.  I've even made 4 servings so there would be lots extra....but to no avail.  She still will eat until it is all gone.

Eating mine before they wake up is a guarenteed way to ensure that both kids hate the sight of oatmeal and won't touch it.

So today, because I'm a bit of a bad mom,  I was sneakily planning on making oatmeal.  Girl is sick and her appitite is low.  I served the kids and watched nearly gleefully as she took a few bites and pronounced herself finished with half the bowl still full of warm breakfasty goodness.

I turned and lifted my spoon to my lips....I could feel the heat still pouring off the bowl and....

my son pipes up. "Mom?  Is there any more?"

Sigh.  I guess I'll have to wait till they move out.
