Veggie Tales

So Mags HATES vegetables and refuses to eat even the slightest hint of them, whether disguised or not. She is a total meat, cheese and bread girl. Every weeknight someone from the Parish brings dinner (which is sooo wonderful) and tonight's dish was perfect for her....a huge scalloped potato, ham and cheese casserole. I was really happy at this because in my mind that translated into her eating all her food and an overall peaceful dinner experience. Well with this particular little one I should have known better. Half way through, the usual excuses started coming out as to why she could not eat...I'm too tired, I can't lift my arms up I'm so tired, I'm full etc. And then came the outcry, "I don't like vegetables and I'm not going to eat this!" Ha, I was already smelling victory because she didn't have any veggies as John proceeded to point out. However, she fooled us both as she picked up her fork, thrust her arm straight up into the air and proclaimed, "I have two huge potatoes right here on my fork!"
