Boys and eating

I am one woman surrounded by three boys who LOVE to eat! The kids appetites go in spurts but I can't imagine what it will be like when they are teenagers!

Max is so very thoughtful with just about every meal I cook (and Todd also!). I can almost always count on "Thanks Mom for this awesome meal, it's so wonderful" but he can also be brutally honest and tell you that he "hates" it! While eating dinner tonight, he tells me what an awesome meal it was, what a wonderful cook I am, how thankful he was, where oh where did I learn to cook like that (he should've stopped there) and if I keep it up, I just might be a better cook than the chef at his school! Well, after he got "the look" he quickly, and smartly, starting back peddling and trying to correct his mistake! Smart kid, he must've known he was on the verge of having me on kitchen strike!

I also think they have to be lacking something in their diet, just not sure what it is, probably should google it. T pulled out a bowl of chopped onion and wanted to eat it (while I was cooking dinner), I said no you don't want to just eat raw onion without it being on food, it wasn't an apple. He gave me his "crazy" look and said yahuh I do, fine, enjoy it. He is eating it, hating it, but definately not telling me! In comes M and he must join in on the onion eating festivities, YUCK. I like onion, but it really is not a food to eat all by itself unless it's coated and deep fried! Needless to say, they got to swish mouthwash tonight, they had BAD breath!
