Sweet Proof

Based on the conversation we had today after lunch, I think Anderson has been hanging out with Carys (the I'll eat anything that looks or smells like cake, pie, cookies, brownies or chocolate whatever before I would think about putting a piece of fruit in my mouth queen) too much . It went like this:

Anderson: "Dad, can I have dessert?"
Me: "Sure. You can have a piece of fruit."
Anderson: "Dad......fruit is not dessert!"
Me: "Sure it is. It's sweet, tastes good and it's even good for you."
Anderson: "Dad, fruit does not count as a dessert!"
Me: "Well, you aren't going to eat chocolate or anything like that right now. You can have some fruit."
Anderson: (as he leaves the kitchen very frustrated with the conversation) "Well, you are not God or Jesus or Mom and I'm not going to eat fruit because it isn't a dessert."

He left, did not come back and did not eat dessert.

We always tell the older kids that the younger kids are watching them and following their example. Here is our sweet proof.
