Signs I may be in the Twilight Zone

Today I have the following conversation with my toddler:

<after the Boy's second helping of broccoli>
Boy: More broccoli, please.
Me: You've had enough broccoli, why don't you eat something else on your plate.
Boy: Please.
Me: You can have some more broccoli, but first eat something else. Why don't you eat some of your mac & cheese?
Boy: PLEEEAAASE.
Me: Just eat one bite of macaroni noodles, and I'll go get some more broccoli.
Boy: I no want macanoni. I want BROCCOLI!! <sticks out lower lip>

The Boy seriously will eat nothing but green vegatables and Cheerios.

My friend, this is not a problem!

Consider yourself VERY lucky. I remember my kids FIGHTING over broccoli at the table. To this day, it is one of their favorite vegetables. Gotta start 'em young!!!

I hate broccoli. My parents used to make me eat it. I'd put a piece in my mouth, take a big swig of milk or water and swallow the broccoli whole.

Our 4 year old takes after his daddy and loves broccoli. The 2 year old takes after me and won't touch anything even resembling a vegetable.

Want CHICKEN!

That's about all we hear. Try convincing the toddler that the drive thru at McDonald's doesn't have chicken before 10:30 AM when you stop for McGriddles....

that made me crack up. macanoni. LOL.
on topic, raw broccoli used to make me gag when chewing on it, so my parents would give me a little bowl of honey to dip in. i had to smother it so much that it defeated the purpose of eating broccoli, so i stopped. i like it if its steamed now, but still would rather avoid raw broccoli
