What's For Lunch

(Aarbear & meself)

My first suggestion (re: today's lunch):

Lastnight's leftover pasta.

-- which I knew would not be well received as it's all 'whole-wheaty' with zucchini's and all things cringe worthy according to my children.

Therein, my other suggestion:

Beans on toast.

Aaron: 'Only cowboys eat that.'

Me: 'What?!  How do you know that?'

Aaron: 'I watch alotta cowboy stuff.'

So then,

I break into the ol'

'Beans, beans- the magical fruit.

The more you eat the more you toot' song,

.... which he does not appreciate.

But still, a small smile manages to escape him.

'For the pete's sakes', he says.

He informs me he has enough money to go buy himself some ravioli.

That, or I make pancakes for him.

He makes me laugh.

Fluttery heart, 'How did I get so lucky?', type of laughter.

Which, still, he does not appreciate

--as he does not see the humor in this at.all.

Unfortunately for him,

leftovers

it is.
