Funny Boys!

Some people's kids pester them for sweets & chocolate but not my boys! On a family shopping trip to Tesco's last Saturday I was trying to navigate the tribe & an unruly trolley around hordes of shoppers & assist the boys in getting various items from the shelves whilst planning the weekly menu in my head & making a mental note of all those essentials we had run out of (Lee having nipped to the toilet at this point!). Wondering where Timmy had got to I turned around to see him heaving a very large marrow into the trolley. As he put it in he said 'We can have this. I like marrow.' This was news to me but not wishing to dissuade my children from eating something healthy, & it being apparent that Timmy was not taking no for an answer we bought the said marrow & I added it to the menu in my head! And last night we ate a rather delicious marrow stuffed with rice, tomato, carrots, peas, sweetcorn, onion & a little bacon (with baked beans!!!!) for tea, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all. ;O)

So, marrow joins the list of 'unusual' things my boys pester me for as we shop. So far strawberries, pineapple, French bread, crumpets, baby corn, & watermelon top the list with the occasional request for doughnuts or cake thrown in! I guess it shows that somewhere down the line we've done something right in our parenting!!!!!
