Litteral much???

Last night I made some very yummy turkey meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner.I mean it smelled good through the entire cooking process. I was super excited to eat...

However, Dart and Arielle weren't as excited as I was.

It could be because they just don't understand the joy of food like I do.

Then again, it could be that they both ate 3 large bowls of  mac and cheese for lunch.

Either way they DEVOURED their mashed potatoes like they were going out of style. The meat loaf....well not so much. I really don't know why. I swear it was GOOD!

Finally after 20 or so minutes of trying to convince Dart that he needed to try his meat loaf the conversation went a bit like this:

Me: "Son, are you going to finish your dinner?"

Dart: "Can I have more potatoes?"

Me: "After your eat some meat loaf I'll get you some more"

Arielle: "More?"

Me: "You guys just aren't going to touch your meatloaf are you?"

It was at this point in the conversation when Dart reached down and poked a big hole into his meatloaf with his index finger.

He then looked at me with a completely straight face and said: "There mom. I touched my meat. Can I have some more potatoes please?"

It was at this point that I realized I had completely lost the entire conversation for the evening. I gave both kids some more mashed potatoes and we went on our way.

I think it is safe to say that my kids are WAY, WAY, WAY to smart for their own good and I am completely sunk for the rest of my life!
