Human Nature

Tonight, in preparation for dinner, we could not decide if we should be indulgent or be good about dinner.  Daddy decided to get some more input from the others that would be impacted by our decision.

Daddy:  Should we eat healthy food or junk food for dinner?

Big Girl:  Mommy, I don't want to get sick, so we should eat healthy.

I was regretting previous words at this point.  We had discussed how sometime eating too much junk food can make you really sick and it can make your body stop working the right way.
However, after a pause, I was reassured that I did not scare her too much.

Big Girl: Um, maybe we should have junk food tonight and we can eat healthy food tomorrow.

After much laughing, Daddy and I discussed the options some more.

Daddy: How about this?  What if we eat healthy food for dinner and then after dinner we can go get some ice cream?  What do you think of that plan?

Big Girl:  I like the junk food plan.
