No - not literally, but it was a close run thing.
This evening we did the spoilt, white, middle class suburban treat dinner and I got off the train and wandered up to ‘Old Mac Donalds’ - as Little Miss calls it, which is just plain old McDonalds to the rest of us - to meet the family for dinner.
I sat down next to them all and gave them a kiss as they began to catch me up with what had gone on during the day. It was one of those minor family moments that they like to use in the McDonalds commercials to try and convince you that their food not terrible for you.
And then I saw it:
Little Miss was dipping her sliced apple pieces into a big container of tomato sauce and eating them as if they were french fries. Oh god it was horrible.
Then I started to remember all the other horrible things that our kids have eaten like:
The period Usurper went through were she would insist on dipping everything in her yoghurt - things like chicken, lamb and fish! Then she used to insist on trying to feed it too me.
Little Miss would often insist on dipping things in her apple juice - things like cake Argghhhhh!!!
This obsession with eating weird things goes back even further so it must run in the family. I will never forget how when I first met Wife she was a vegetarian (and bloody hippy). Which lead to the time that Wife made me a lentil stew or something when we were first dating. Oh the horror, the HORROR. But I choked it down, all the while smiling and complimenting her on how it didn’t taste in the least bit like dirt all because I was hopeful that if I ate the food without fuss she would let me see her naked later that evening.
Oh, my boys have experimented with all sorts of mixture too and try to make us finish it because they decided it really wan not a good idea after all :
chocolate milk with Chinese herbal tea, chocolate milk with noodle, rice porridge with milk, … the list goes on. They usually end up in the drain, and I will feel upset at the wastage of food. Sigh…

If my memory serves me correctly you ate that lentil casserole and it didn’t get you any action in return. All that extra gas for nothing LOL

[…] may have read mr hissychick’s post about our family dinner at the big bad Golden Arches last night, and his disgust at A eating apple […]
I would just like to point out that the second comment was actually from Wife and not from me - that’ll teach me not to log out properly.
And she is right I didn’t get any action, but I still have the gas
