Eat Your Veggies

I have uncovered one of the great mysteries....How do you get kids to eat all their veggies. For generations, parents have been struggling with their children to eat all their veggies or even try a new food. With most kids, they will fight you and find any reason to not eat the food.

At times, Mason has told me he does not like the color green or that a certain veggie made him sad (what that meant, I have no idea).

It was not until tonight that I came to the solution and all it took was the maturity level of a child. It just so happens we are talking about my maturity level.

Just repeat after me "Beans, beans good for your heart. The more you eat the more you fart"

Yes, within this little saying is the key to all the food problems. Mason did not want to try black beans, but then I reached down low and pulled out the saying. To Mason's delight, if he ate this food, he might get to fart!!!! So, why not tell kids that all that food that is good for you also allows you to break wind.... No harm, no foul. Unless of course your child really does start to let them rip and then they will just have to learn to play by themselves.....

Note: This theory may only work with boys.....
