So it's lunch time, and we decide to have sandwiches for us, Lunchables for the kids. All but Naomi. She doesn't like the bologna Lunchable I bought for her, go figger, I mean she likes hot dogs for heavens sake. So we're eating our sandwiches, and Cary and Dearra are eating their Lunchables, and Naomi says, "where's my lunch". And I said, "well Miss Picky, I guess that Lunchable that I spent money on is going to end up in the trash unless I eat it, I suppose you want a hot dog?" So I put the hot dog on to boil and put the bun (frozen) into the microwave. A bit later I get the bun out, and I go to get the hot dog out, and she says, "so where's my lunch?" R says, "do you want me to make you a hot dog?" And I say, "yeah can you make her one?" As I take the tongs and put the hot dog into the bun. So he gets up, and turns around, and I hand him the hot dog and say, "can you give that to Naomi?" Lunchable that probably won't get eaten - $4.99 Hot dog and bun probably less than - $1.00 Look on his face as I hand him the already prepared hot dog - PRICELESS hahahahahahaha

For that price you could have gone to McDonald's, and they could have put that look in as a prize in your Happy Meal. What planet was he visiting when all of this was going on?

LOL!! For whatever reason I never liked bologna as a kid either, however, I should could put away the hot dogs!! I am assuming "R" is hubby. If it is, is he related to mine. My husband does no brain things that as well.

In this case I think it was more of an "oblivious" thing than a no brain thing...

LOL that's pretty funny, but I probably would have told her that she had to eat the lunchable or nothing. I have had to do that with my son before and it worked.

If she had asked for it, I would have, but I bought it without asking her...

My 4 year old it turning into a picky eater but both kids are going through a spert where they eat and eat I have a 17 year old and a 4 year old...I'm finding that the 4 year old is waisting it most of the time for example she will ask for something she wants to eat then tell me I don't like it or I don't want it just to throw it in the garbage what a waist and frustrating at that lol....

I get that a lot too. "I want this", and when I make it, "I wasn't really hungry"...

Isn't it great when you can get one step ahead of the family, and cheap too. Enjoy

I will never understand you Americanese. (That is a new word I coined). Why didnt you let him make one instead of passing it to Naomi. I'd like to see the look at that time. Second thing - why didnt you buy Naomi what she likes? If you were anyway going to relent why buy that lunchable!

He would have noticed the hot water and the fact that she already had one eventually... I thought she would like the darn thing.

IF he's a typical guy, he'll probably take credit for making it, thinking that it mysteriously materialized in his hand by some act of magic. LOL Guys are like that.

All the kids saw me put it in the bun, so no way could he claim that!

Great trick! Was his face anything like this? Now, can you magically turn in the bologna lunchable back to the store and get your $4.99 back?

Hi dawnald!. I think today kid tend to be more picky eater and a parent must be more smart to feed them especially the vegetable. I got my cousin who really picky eater too she only want to eat with certain food and a carrot is a big no no as most other vegetables. I see my aunt has to struggle to get her fed, sometimes she tantrum to at my cousin because its often takes hours to finish her meal.

I sneak vegetables into some of their food, spaghetti sauce, for example.
