I served stuffed Manicotti tonight, and while Calvin made a valiant effort to try it, he didn't make much of a dent in his Manicottus. At the end of dinner, he looked at me and sweetly and sincerely said, "Thank you for that yucky dinner, Mom."
Any chance you would be willing to trade kids? Sarah has told me recently that Barbie would be a better mother than I am and also asked me when I was going to make a dinner that wasn't disgusting. At least Calvin says his mean things nicely.
