Scene: Inside a restaurant

O: Mom. when I grow up, I will put up a restaurant.
Me: Wow. That's very nice. What kind of restaurant will it be?
O: I will call it Movaba Restraurant. It's a sports restaurant. It will serve healthy food. 
(Movaba stands for Moderation, Variety and Balance -- our lesson on Nutrition which we learned from an old issue of Nestle magazine).
Me: Give me an example of a healthy food in your restaurant.
O: Fried chicken, of course!
Me: Uh,uh. It may not be that healthy, son.
O: But it is! When you eat it, there are vegetables inside!
Me: (amused) Wow, stuffed chicken! Chicken con vegetables. It must be delicious.
O: Yes. And healthy!

The little man struck again.

Without the househelp to cook for us, I have been on a tailspin for the last three weeks whipping up dishes for the boys' choosy taste buds. Yesterday,TLM (the little man) insisted on having uncooked corned beef for his viand. Take a peek at our conversation:

Me: What do you want me to cook for lunch?

TLM: Mom, I want Target corned beef. Don't cook.

Me: But it's canned food. It is not nutritious, son.

TLM: It's delicious, and nutritious, Mom.

Me: Why do you say it's nutritious?

TLM: Because, it has CORN. And corn is nutritious, right?

Me: LoL!
