Lesson Backfire


So Caelan came down while I was making dinner and didn't want to wait.

"Nope," I said. "I'm making potatoes. They'll be ready in a few minutes."

"I want this totato," he responds, pointing to a scrubbed raw potato.

"It's not cooked. They taste gross."

Caelan proceeds to pick it up and lick it. Hmmm, I thought to myself as I was about to take it away. Why not let him experience its yuckiness for himself. I don't always have to save him from his own folly.

He ate it. And liked it. Serves me right.
