Father's Day Food Issues
Oh man, there is a God.
Ha! Outsmarted them all.
Mom, if you really want to get this away from me you're gonna have to work at it, 'cuz baby don't give up kitty food.
I was carrying my camera on the way to the breakfast that Juniorette and I had just prepared and this was just too good to pass up. Yes, he's wearing Christmas pajamas and no, the bowl on his head is not my doing. We realize that to complete all the food groups which this week have included a dead potato bug, hairball pulled from the bottom of the vacuum, piece of carpet padding and a moth wing, you need to eat some Friskie's Buffet but couldn't you have done it before your bath?
Ten minutes prior to this, Juniorette and I were stirring eggs for omelettes.
As Juniorette decided to scoop up raw egg and eat it, husband yelled "DON'T EAT THE RAW EGG!!!" followed two seconds later by "NOOOOOO...DON'T SPIT IT BACK IN THE BOWLl!"
It was an interesting morning but Father's Day is all about quality time with one's offspring. Our quality definition just happens to be a little different from most (and we're ok, you're ok.)
I'm just laughing at you photographing it for posterity!!

OMG how freaking hilarious! If Friskies can be part of a balanced diet for a cat (probably has the essentials from all food groups) then why not for a kid too! Honestly, I love the smell of wet cat food. Weird, I know. And the raw egg thing - is that bad for you? Growing up, for breakfast my fav was raw egg yolks mixed with sugar, then dunk toast in it. MMMMMM

I think it's important that children try a wide variety of foods at a young age so they can develop a well-rounded pallet.
For my daughter, the dog's water dish was this red plastic miracle-part swimming pool, part drinking fountain. Constantly chasing her out of the dog water was how I lost the baby weight.

Not to worry your baby just has an eclectic taste.

Okay, I am sending in Social Services. They will be visiting my house, too. ~sigh.
