This happened last night. WE have been having Monday night suppers for our family for the last two years. It was too hard to get them together on weekends as the kids multiplied and had activities of their own. So...last night, great grandson Bennett, 5, didn't eat very much of his supper. A few minutes later, he came into the kitchen and his Hunny asked if he needed anything. He said he was looking for the cake. She told him that we had fruit for dessert. (I usually have cake, cookies, or cobbler) He said he didn't want any fruit. Much later (as they were preparing to leave for home, he came up to me and asked,"Mimi, when are you gonna fix the stuff we eat after supper?"
Poor kid! So I pulled out leftover brownies from the fridge. He was a happy boy!! Lesson learned: I will have dessert next week.
