Chloe asked me the other day, what my favorite color, food, gum, soda, on and on. I just really didn't have any answers for her. I knew her favorite things. Tuna fish, spam, tomato soup, cocoa puffs, tomatoes, chocolate milk, you know, all the things a mom should know. But, I didn't have any answers for her regarding my favorites. So, instead I told her what my favorites were when I was her age. We are definitely not similar in those categories.
My favorite color at nine: Yellow
Chloe's: Purple
My favorite food at nine: Hamburgers
Chloe's: Tuna fish
My favorite candy at nine: Butterfinger
Chloe's: Tootsie rolls
My favorite Ice cream: Mint chocolate chip
Chloe's: Mint chocolate chip
My favorite gum at nine: Juicy fruit
Chloe's: original
Funny how as an adult, I can't come up with a favorite anything. Goes to show things are so much more serious when you are nine.
When I was a kid, I loved beets. Chloe hates them. However, she loves fish and seafood the same as I did when I was her age. I love sweets, Chloe loves sour. However, we both loved to read at nine.
I can't wait to see if Koben is more like me, or Craig, or different from both of us. Chloe and Craig both love the sour foods, hate beets, and they both eat their foods the same way, their least favorite item first, and their favorite last. And both of them eat the crust off their sandwiches and toast first, and then eat the inside. And here people tell me how much Chloe is like me. We may look similar, but she is very much her daddy's girl. Koben, however, has his mommys sweet tooth. Uh, oh.

SPAM?!! I didn't know anyone really ate that stuff. I've never ate it. Actually I've never even seen inside a can of spam. If you mentioned Spam to my girls, they would think you were talking about junk email. LOL. I always find it interesting how different households do & eat such different things. What is Spam really... isn't it like a manmade pretend meat-like thing? What does it taste like?
Hey man, don't knock it until you try it! It's just ground pork and beef. You have to eat the light version though, it is less salty and much lower in fat. Scramble it with eggs and cheese, it's quite tasty!
Hey, if I can get Chloe to eat anything besides pb and jelly, tomatoes, and mac and cheese, I feel like I'm doing good. She's starting to branch out a bit finally. She still eats the same quantity of food that she did when she was four. No wonder she is so thin!
