Thats because a fruit snack is always the choice, just a matter of if they can have one. At least thats how it is in my house.

 
I find it funny that mini-kevo complains that she is full but wants to eat some ice cream for dessert.

I then put a few scoops into the bowl and after a bit of crying she just inhales all of the rest of her dinner and gets dessert.

Kids....

 
My kids like to say they are still hungry and ask for dessert when they haven't finished dinner. I ask if they are sure they are full and they say yes, so I say well then if you're full there ins't room for dessert. Then daughter says, well I'm just full of this (pointing to plate), I'm not full of other stuff.

My kids do this all the time. I tell them if they are full, they have my permission to leave the table and go back to playing with the caveat that if they get hungry again I will have their plate of unfinished dinner waiting for them in the microwave. We don't offer dessert very often, and when we do it's a couple hours after dinner.

We have the same conversation worth my daughter almost every night.

 
One of Mini YMZ's classmates told her about the Boogieman who "eats children, is really tall, and has red skin". I told her that was ridiculous because if anyone was eating children I most certainly would have been eaten by now, and asked whether it was fun to talk about scary things like that. "A little," she admitted, "but let's not talk about it anymore or else I'm going to have nightmares."

Cautionary tales seem pointless and cruel given the environment we live in. I kind of want to grill that classmate of hers to find out who's messing with him.

the boogie man was green and could walk on the ceiling. he would sneak up on you and scare you. no eating involved. Thanks to my older male cousins I had a hard time going to the basement by myself in the dark for fear of the boogieman would get me

now I'm confused....

I thought this was the boogie man?

:dunno:

 
Per our MO, we have now educated Mini YMZ about the facts: 1. The Boogieman is not real. 2. Her friend is wrong - his name is actually the Boogerman, and his skin is green, not red. I tested Mini YMZ's understanding as follows:

Me: "What do you think he eats for breakfast?"
Her: "Boogers."

Me: "What does he drink when it's hot?"
Her: "Snot."

Me: "What kind of pet does he have?"
Her: "A booger dog."
