I have often wondered if young children can overeat.
Tonight I learned the answer. Yes. A child can consume too many grapes without adequate chewing.
I also learned what happens when a child consumes too many grapes without adequate chewing.
You get a fountain of grapes, issuing forth from the child's mouth, burbling up, spilling out, tumbling down onto the blankets your husband so foresight-fully placed between the child and your freshly ironed sheets.
I have never before laughed at throw-up, but I did tonight. Whole grapes emerged. Whole Grapes! Are you kidding? No wonder Victor stays so lean--he doesn't chew his food. His body has no chance for digestion! I am going to have to find a way to reinforce positive chewing behavior. What would be a good reward for thorough chewing?
you iron your sheets?
ReplyDeleteI iron my sheets too.
ReplyDeleteThat story actually made me laugh out loud!
Wow...I am the onl Munk girl who does not iron her sheets! :( It seems like a lot of effort...but I must admit I sure do like to sleep on ironed sheets.
ReplyDeletePerhaps the no chewing diet could be marketed...I think that it could get some followers.
