Lately one of Liam’s favorite pastimes is making “food” for me out of inedible objects and then telling me that it’s made up of some sort of disgusting concoction. He’s very big on the gross-out factor and the more twisted and dramatic I get with my facial expressions and verbal reactions, the better. We just had the following conversation after he handed me a ‘bristle block sandwich.’
Liam:Â Here Mama, taste this.
Shannon:Â Mmmmmm, tasty!
Liam: Mom. It has BUGS in it!
Shannon:Â Ewwwww!
Liam:Â Take another taste and make sure you get a bug this time!
Shannon: No! I’m not eating another bite of a bug sandwich!
Liam: But Mama! What if I told you that it has bugs…and also…it smells like poop!
Shannon:Â I’m not sure you understand the best way to sell something to me…
