Lunchtime Wombat

Location: Sarah and I at the food court at the mall. Sarah has a slice of cheese pizza.

Sarah: I love pizza!
Me: I see. Why do you flip it over and eat it upside down?
Sarah: Because then the cheese touches my tongue!

Good point. I think I'll eat pizza that way from now on.

More Dinnertime Wombat

I hope this blog is encouraging people to eat with their kids.

Last night:

Me: Sarah, do you want to try some broccoli with cheese on it?
Sarah: No. We have that at school and I don't like it.
Me: Just one bite? Please?
Sarah: *looks at it suspiciously* Well okay.....*bites*..
Me: Is it good?
Sarah: Yes! It's not like the broccoli and cheese they have at school. That cheese is yellow and comes in a block.
Me: Ah. See, that's not really cheese.
Sarah: Oh. It's not good.

Dinnertime Wombat

At dinner tonight:

Me: What did you have for lunch today?
Sarah: Well...macaroni and cheese, oranges and peas.
Me: That sounds good.
Sarah: I didn't eat the peas
Robert: Oh? Why not?
Sarah: They didn't have vitamins!
Robert: How do you know that?
Sarah: I tasted them. They didn't taste like they had vitamins. They just tasted bad.

Thoughtful Wombat

On the way to school/work this morning:

Me: Say "bye Daddy! bye Daddy's car"!
Sarah: Bye trees!
Sarah: Bye branches that fell off the trees!
Me: what?
Sarah: They have feelings too!

Nutritional Wombat

Sarah was playing a game on pbskids.org about different foods, identifying nutrition and other features.

She comes to a part about identifying foods that have a "peel, shell or husk."
Sarah: *clicks on the pizza.*
Computer: "That doesn't have a peel, shell or husk!"
Sarah: *frustrated* "Yes it does! You have to peel off the pepperoni!"

Logical Wombat v 2.0

This morning Robert and I were lying in bed when Sarah came in and jumped on the bed.

Robert: No bouncing on the bed Sarah!
Sarah: Then why is it so big?
