Picky Eaters

Chase came home from school today and made a declaration that he is going to start eating healthier. You see, Chase is a very picky eater! So he proceeded to go to the refrigerator and see what I had for him to try. You see he eats lunch every day with a friend on his baseball team named Jack. Jack eats very healthy according to Chase, and according to Chase he has quite a bicep. (I think it is the bicep muscle that is motivating this sudden change in diet!) Anyway, he decides to first try carrots and then some red grapes. My poor child spent 10 minutes psyching himself up for his very first bites followed by another 5 minutes over the kitchen sink gagging in such a manner that you thought he might lose a lung. I told him he should be proud of himself for trying -- that is more than his father would ever be willing to do.
