It is official .. I have entered real parenthood (although I am not sure what that would make the last 5 years). At dinner last night we sat patiently eating dinner and then, as many nights evolve into, our pleading began....
Mason: I am done
Me/Steve: A few more bites
Mason: A few is two
Me/Steve: Don't count, just eat...it is good!!!
Mason: I don't like steak/chicken/pork/etc.....it makes my tongue feel funny
Me/Steve: It is fine, just eat a few more bites, you need protein to help your muscles get bigger!
Mason (whining): I don' t like this!!!!!!
Me/Steve: Mason, you need to eat...a lot of people in other countries and even here in Albuquerque don't get to eat the nice meals we do....they don't get any food! It isn't fair for us NOT to eat what we have in front of us when other people don't have any food...just eat!!
Mason: Can't we give our food to them?
Us: JUST EAT............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
I cannot believe we actually used the starving children speech...it is official....we have entered where we swore we never would!!
