Out of the Mouths...
Me {serving Lexi chicken noodle soup}: There you go, Lex.
Lexi: I don't like chicken noodle soup. It's not good enough for me.
Me {refraining from hitting Lexi in the back of the head, speaking through clenched teeth}: Well, why don't you just try it?
Lexi {folding arms across chest}: I'm not going to try it.
Me: Well, you know what? You're old enough to choose for yourself. If you don't want to eat what I made for you, you can go hungry. No dinner, no juice, no snacks. Nuthin'.
Lexi: I'm not going to try it.
Allen {eyebrows raised to hairline}: Lexi, you eat what mom made for you. This is not a restaurant and there is no menu.
Lexi {comtemplative silence}.
Lexi: Maybe I just need to go to a restaurant then.
