Every day is a battle to get vegetables into Nem’s tummy. (Nem is four years old at this writing.)
This evening:
Tia: Nem, come here and get some veggies in your tummy…
Nem: Actually, I don’t very much eat those.
I chuckle.
Nem: What? What’s funny?
Me: You are.
Nem: No I’m not.
Me: I think you’re being very silly.
Nem: No, that’s not silly!
Later, I could’nt recall how she phrased her reply (to write this), so I asked her.
Me: Nem, what did you say about vegetables?
Nem: I said I don’t very much eat those…And it’s not funny. At all.
