karma in the works :-(
when i was a child, mom would always bribe me to eat good (to her definition, that is) food, which, to my picky tastebuds that time, was nothing but awful.. how can green, leafy stuff, with no nuts and no toppings, meet the standards of a young mind??!!
to me, then and now, the best things in life are called ‘chocolates’!
(and i quote: "chocolate is, let's face it, far more reliable than a man!" -- -- miranda ingram)
it's a wonder that i haven't gotten signs of diabetis; for if i were to weigh all that i have taken of those sweets, i can surely feed a generation of ants in their lifetime!
funny that, as i continue to make futile attempts to introduce the green, leafy matters to my oh-so-choosy daughter, i borrow my mother’s words as if i don’t know that ain't gonna work.
“this is good for the body, kyle” is my famous offer of delight; and in much the same way that i used to taunt my mother, the kid replies to me in irony (exactly as you guessed it!), “mommy, you’re wrong.”
hmmmm... talk about vengeance rewarded to my old lady.. by a twist of fate, i have become my mother! just when i thought it ain't coming..
oh, well.. as mrs. gump had put it,
"life is a box of chocolates, forrest; you never know what you're gonna get."karma in the works :-(
as life goes on..
