We try to have a "family night" on Friday nights where we play board games or watch a movie. Well one Friday night a few months ago, Victor got bored with the traditional games evening, and decided to spice it up a little. He told Lucas and Marisa they were going to have a contest to see who could be the first to finish eating something he made for them. Victor was going to make something "special" for them and they had to eat whatever he gave them. They were giddy with excitement. Then Victor made them a "sandwich" with grape jam, hummus, mustard, ketchup, crushed olives, and maple syrup. Yum - my favourite sandwich. They gobbled it down in no time flat. All the time I was laughing my head off and thinking - those little rats - every single night when we sit down to eat dinner, they turn up their noses and say "yucky!" How could my cooking be worse than that sandwich?!?
