Me: "N, are you ready for breakfast?"
Munchkin: "Nah, not yet"
Repeat 3 or 4 times.
Earlier this week, however, it went like this:
Me: "N, are you ready for breakfast?"
Munchkin: "Breakfast? I eat losers for breakfast!"
Me: "You eat what?!?"
Munchkin: "Ooosers" (extreme emphasis on the 'ooo')
Me: "Where'd ya hear that?"
Munchkin: "I don't know"
Mmmmkay. I'm 100% sure that's not something that I've said. I'm pretty sure Hubbers hasn't been saying it. So I chalked it up to something he heard at school.
Fast forward to yesterday afternoon. Munchkin was driving his Lightening McQueen powerwheels around the yard. Yep, you guessed it - he pushed the fun Lightening McQueen catch phrase button and - "I eat losers for breakfast!" came out. Hmm, wonder if I can hack it to say, "I eat oatmeal for breakfast!"
When my girls won't eat a meal I always pull the princess card. "Girls, did you know that this is Cinderella's favorite meal? She LOVES this chicken and potatoes!" Suddenly they're all about it. I don't do it all the time, so it usually works when I do it. :) When my 16 year old was the age of your little man I used to make him "Buzz Lightyear sandwiches" also known as grilled ham and cheese. Worked on him too. :) Maybe he'll eat if you can convince him that this is what his car likes to eat. :)
ReplyDeleteSo funny...I thought that sounded familiar! :) Having 3 boys, I had that movie memorized a few years back! :) Thanks for following me! :) Jo @ ...and Bob's Your Uncle.
ReplyDeleteWe have that same Lightning McQueen car! As soon as I read the "I eat losers for breakfast!" I knew exactly what he was talking about. Hilarious!
