Ainsley: Mac cheese!
Me: Okay...anyone else want mac and cheese?
Ryan: I'll eat some.
Emily: Me too.
Me: Jackson? Do you want mac and cheese?
Jackson: Ugh. Is it leftover?
Me: No, I'm making it fresh right now.
Jackson: Okay...I'll have some.
Ryan: I'm really hungry, so I think I'm going to make a turkey sandwich too.
Emily: I'm really hungry too...can I have a yogurt?
Me: Sure.
Ryan starts making his sandwich and Emily gets her yogurt.
Ainsley: I yogurt!
Jackson: Is my mac and cheese ready yet?
Me: Almost!
Ryan finishes his sandwich as I make a salad with leftover grilled chicken and honey mustard dressing.
Ryan: Mmm...that salad looks really good. Can I have that too?
Me: Well, there isn't anymore grilled chicken, but you can have this one.
Ryan: Are you sure?
Ainsley: I salad!
Me: Yeah...I'll just make a taco salad.
Emily: Ooohh...taco salad! Can I have one of those?
Me: Sure.
So I give Ryan the grilled chicken salad, steal a piece of the chicken to make a smaller version for Ainsley, warm up the leftover taco meat and put most of it on Emily's salad and save a bit for mine. And now the mac & cheese is ready.
Jackson: Can I have a taco too?
Me: Sure.
Ainsley: I taco!
I look at Ainsley's half eaten yogurt, half eaten salad and half eaten bowl of mac & cheese.
Me: Sorry Ainsley, no taco.
I use the rest of the taco meat for Jack's taco and then remember we have some leftover shredded chicken so I can still have my taco salad. I make my salad and sit down with the kids and take a bite.
Jackson: Can I have some apple juice?
Ainsley: I appa booce!
Me: Sure.
I get the juices and sit back down.
Jackson: Cheers everybody!
So we all do cheers and finish eating.
The end. Until dinner.

I believe we've had a similar exchange at least a hundred times at our house...sometimes I think I should just start out pretending to make for myself what I was planning on giving to them.....just a thought...Beth
