Finally...a post...just a short one. :-D
So I took Josh out to Taco Bell today because for some strange unknown reason he decided he wanted a Cheese Quesadilla. So he and I go out to get some Father-Son time; we get our food say the blessing and get ready to eat. He picks up the first piece of the quesadilla and says "Let's have a race and see who can eat the fastest." Now I, being the responsible father, decide this is a teachable moment. I look at him and say "son, eating fast is not good for your body, it's better to eat slowly." The comes the inevitable "why?" So I say "well son, if you eat to fast, it can enlarge your stomach and you won't feel as full when you eat." (Not wanting to try to explain peptic ulcers or esophageal reflux to 4-year-old.) So he gets this thoughtful look and (to my horror) replies very audibly: "Will it get so big that you will have to have two children go in front of you so they can open up *both doors* for you?!?!?" :-D
Trying not to laugh I had to surreptitiously look around and make sure that yes, indeed, I was the most overweight occupant of that particular Taco Bell at 3 in the afternoon. *whew!*
