It is lunch time and I have dished out all of Cash's healthy food: veggies and dip, spaghetti and an orange sliced in triangles with the peel still on.
I am finishing Legend's meal preparation when I look up to see Cash's mouth extremely full and he is doing his best to chew.
I gently admonish him - "I think maybe you should take smaller bites, Cash."
Cash nods and continues laboriously chewing.
I am busy with Kayla's lunch for a couple minutes.
He is still chewing and now there are tears in his eyes.
Me - "Cash, are you okay? What are you eating anyways?" His food appears untouched.
Cash barely manages to spit out, "orange", around his massive bite.
There is no peel on his plate.
Me, knowing the awful answer already - "Cash, where is the peel?"
Cash spits - "Ate it."
Not yet, you haven't.
I grab a napkin and ask him to spit it out.
Me - "Cash, the peel is not food."
Cash - "Yeah, cuz I don't like it."
No kidding.
