Kristen at Motherhood Uncensored frequently posts the entertaining things her daughter says. Today’s statement about getting “block sick” reminded me of something I used to say to charm my own parents when I was young.
“I can’t eat any more green beans. My green bean thingy is full. But my apple pie thingy is still empty!”
Substitute green beans for any food I didn’t want and apple pie for any food I did, of course. I’m not sure it ever worked. Maybe the first time I tried it.
I don’t remember much about things I actually said when I was little, but that’s one of them. I hope Kristen’s daughter will remember some of the gems she’s come up with.
