"What's for Lunch?" Written by Karen Robinson

Scene: Mommy getting Nathan out of bed after his nap
Time: 2:00 ish

Mommy: Hi sweetheart! Did you have a good nap? Do you want some lunch?
Nathan: (pointing to his humidifier) That.
Mommy: Yes, that's your humidifier. You hungry? Want some lunch?
Nathan: (sees the Cars poster) Car!
Mommy: Lots of cars!! Let's go upstairs. (Sets Nathan down)
Nathan throws himself on the ground (no known motivation)
Mommy picks him up and carries him upstairs.
Nathan: Donald?
Mommy: You can watch Donald after you eat some lunch.
Nathan: (throws himself on the ground again) DONALD!!
Mommy: How about a drink? Want some orange juice?
Nathan: NO! (brings Mommy his empty sipper cup that had Chocolate Milk in it)
Mommy: (sighs and gets some Chocolate Milk, and like a sucker turns on Donald Duck cartoons)
Okay, Nathan, want your potato?
Nathan: (mesmerized by cartoon)
Mommy: (prepares baked potato with butter and cheese with hidden corn and meat loaf in it)
Here Bug, eat some. (Mommy prepares to finish wrapping Christmas presents)
Nathan: (sees a gift that is for him and runs over to take the box from Mommy) AHHH
Mommy: No, honey. Help Mommy wrap the present, Nathan
Nathan: (now sobbing and yet still helping Mommy wrapping the present)
Mommy: (noticing that Nathan has not touched his food) Nathan! Let's finish your lunch! (Takes him back over to his lunch) Eat, please. (Tries to help him take bites)
Nathan: (shoves the fork away, the food falls to the ground)
Mommy: (curses and gets a paper towel to clean up the mess) Okay, you do it. (Leaves Nathan to do it himself)
After a few minutes, Mommy comes back and Nathan has dumped the contents on the floor and drunk all the Chocolate Milk
Mommy: NATHAN!
Nathan: (smiles and does the sign language for all done)
Mommy: (cursing under her breath, she cleans up and puts the butter away in the fridge. Nathan runs over and points to the cheese ball) You want the cheese ball?
Nathan: That.

Mommy gets out the cheese ball, some wheat thins and Nathan happily sits at the table and munches away.

End scene.

Grrr...this same scene happens at our house WAY too often! I just don't have the fight in me while I'm pregnant - I give in way too easy! These spoiled rotten boys...

Tater has you wrapped around his finger! That is a funny story. He needs a feeding tube. He is so like Kelly when she was that age. At least he doesn't gag like she did though. You should get frozen chicken nuggets or something and see if he likes that.

He knows his ways, lol!!! I love how you hid corn and meat loaf in his potato! He is too funny, I guess he knew what he wanted all along!

That is so great! How Hillarious, I am so glad we are not alone! You know, you should make a whole slew of one act scenes and compile them into mommies moments or something -it would be so great!! You're so good with puting them together. Love all the pics!
