Do you ever wish you could have dinner at my house?<\/p>\n
Tonight I baked potatoes for dinner. Lilly’s favorite, Aiden on the other hand usually turns up his nose and asks where the rest of dinner is when we have potatoes. So I made a hot dog special just for him (his favorite.) He’d just sat down at the table next to his sister as I was busy placing potato fixin’s on the table, when he asked me, “Mom. What kind of hot dogs are these?” “Oscar Meyer – Is that okay with you Aiden?”<\/p>\n
“I mean are they meat?” (Long pause) (One time Lilly told me that she could only eat chicken nuggets because she just couldn’t eat animals anymore – So I proceeded with great caution) “Well yes son, hot dogs are meat.”<\/p>\n
Now Aiden without<\/u> the least bit of detectable witticism and a small voice said, “we eat animal weenies?”<\/p>\n
Luckily my back happened to be turned to my son as he questioned me about the origin of the meat for hot dog weenies. I kept my back turned (to conceal my amusement) and explained what “meat” was probably in a hot dog. (hmmm)<\/p>\n
He ate his weenie and we ate our potatoes. He even discussed his preference for a plain weenie or perhaps a weenie with just cheese – but not ketchup, mustard, pickles or chili.<\/p>\n
I, on the other hand don’t think that I can eat a hot dog weenie for a while (with a straight face at least.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
