Why Evan is not round like Mommy...

Mommy: "Evan...here's the tasty 'Kitchen Fresh' chicken that Mommy picked up from KFC on the way home for dinner. See...there's a biscuit, mashed potatoes and gravy, and fried chicken."

Evan: "Mommy...want some vegetables."

Mommy: "What?"

Evan: "I want some vegetables, Mommy."

Mommy: "Ummmm...okay...what kind of vegetables."

Evan: (thinks for a moment) "Yellow ones."

Mommy: (rummages around in freezer) "How about some green beans?"

Evan: "Yes. Green beans, please."

Mommy: (pops green beans into the microwave)

Evan: "Vegetables...green beans...please, Mommy."

Mommy: "I'm getting them, son. They have to heat up."

Evan: "VEGETABLES PLEASE MOMMY!!!!!"

Mommy: (blowing on the now blistering hot green beans) "Here you go, son."

Evan: "Careful...they hot, Mommy. Mmmmm...green beans. Mmmmm...vegetables. Tank you, Mommy."

Mommy: (gnawing through fried chicken flesh) "You're welcome, sweetheart."

You just can't make this stuff up.

Maybe that poor child is warped because of insidious TV programming like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pzbbqVZ-eFo

This evening, we had big t-bone steaks, potatoes, asparagus, and rolls. The only thing Hannah ate was the asparagus. What is wrong with these kids?!

We had a similar thing with Andrew a while back - he was yelling that he wanted more veggies and no fries (he hates french fries).
