Jacob's Serious Attempts At Food Control

Photo left:  We're playing green army men when Jacob came up with a missle, his eyes twinkle as he aims to win!

Now, as you read below keep in mind, he's a little guy in a car seat.  He's only just graduated from Kindergarten, so he's only 6 years old.  Also know, he's normally a very polite and affable child.  

The following was out of character, but oh, so funny! I laughed a lot!

Jacob's Serious Attempts At Food Control

Jacob's in the back seat of my car.  I'm wondering whether he feels good or not.  Mostly because his face is drawn after getting over a sty.  And, because, for him, his responses are extreme.  Here's what took place on the way to eating out after church.  

BTW, eating out after church is something my family members always do.

You never know where it'll be.  After services are over, we cogitate it a lot due to everyone's qualifiers - no beef or pork, we ate there recently, or I'm not in the mood for that - can be some parameters.

Following behind, I kept an eye on the car ahead carrying his parents, and said, "Jacob, we're going to Logan's Steakhouse.  They changed their minds, we're not heading for Panda Express."  

"I like the noodles.  I want to go to Panda Express."  This was the beginning of his discourse, he kept on talking without any prompting from me.

"He chose the disgusting food so let's not go where daddy goes, let's go to Panda.  Chili's is disgusting."

Re-read those last words, and lower your voice with a little growl to it.

"Chili's is disgusting."  I laughed my head off!

"Right,"  he was assertive.

"We're not going to Logan's Steakhouse."

"We're not going to Chili's; we're going to Panda because those are disgusting."

"I am not eating when they say what food do you want?

"I say nothing; and I'm serious."
