Well alrighty then

Spencer is not like most kids when it comes to food. He has "unusual" preferences. Most of the time it works to my advantage because he picks fruits, vegetables, salads, fish, etc. over junk food but that also means he rarely orders from the children's menu. Which means we share a meal and I usually get what *he* wants or pay for two entrees.

This morning, he slept in. That's not unusual for him. He is definitely a sleeper. He woke up at 10:00 starved. He normally eats breakfast here and then goes to Nana and Boppa's while I work. Well Mr. Grouchy was upset that we didn't have any corned beef hash. I'm busy Spencer--can't you eat cereal or a pop tart like a normal kid?

I'm in here working and I hear him emptying the entire cupboard, can foods slamming down on the kitchen counter, him mumbling, etc. About 10 minutes later, I get to a stopping point and I go into the kitchen and he is sitting there eating a bowl a cereal, scowling and then I notice THIS added to my list on the fridge door:


I tried not to laugh. Poor neglected kid has to eat cereal like a common 7 year old.

OMG- I love this-- SO funny. I love the canned food slamming, the mumbling...I mean geez, can you not keep the kitchen stocked? LOLOLOLOL.
So funny about the list--this is priceless. I can just see him grabbing a pen, all annoyed, adding that to the list. Hilarious!
