The other day Bennett couldn't wait to go grocery shopping with me. I wasn't sure if it was because he honestly wanted to spend some time with me or because he had hopes of picking out certain food items that weren't on my grocery list. Come to find out he was having a hankering for pineapple. He asked if he could get some. How could I deny my child something from the fruit category.? Of course I said, "Yes. Go ahead and look in the cooler in the Fresh Foods section of the store. You should see a little container with it already chopped up."
He came back and reported that there were no already pre-cut pineapples lying around. "Now what, Mom?" I thought long and hard and told him, "Well, Buddy, if you can figure out how to cut a real pineapple, you can get one. I've only done it once, so I couldn't tell you how." How pathetic is that?! I can't even teach my kid to cut a pineapple. Thank God for YouTube! As you can see from the picture he has his phone sitting out and the Pineapple Tutorial walking him through step by step.
Way to go Bennett! Anything you want badly enough to work hard for tastes better in the end. At least he thought so.
