We have a daily ritual—the after-school snack. Dinner is not until 7, and my kids are on full feed, so no way am I stupid enough to expect them to last 7 hours between meals. Lately, the “snack” has taken on a life of its own. Yesterday, she fixed cinnamon toast. Not just one piece as you might expect for a snack, but a plate more full than she would eat for breakfast.
Today, she’s having leftover chicken dumplings. Her choice after I vetoed the chili. The little one isn’t much better. I asked her what she wanted for snack and she said “peanut butter.”
“You want a peanut butter sandwich. For snack. Really?”
“No. I jess want peanut butter.”
My family is so weird.
Ah, I remember the days when I only got a snack after school. Now I snack before, during, and after school 😉
“vetoed the chili”…hehe…awwwwww mom
