Veggie Tales

And this is how our particular tale goes (names have been changed to protect the innocent).

There once was a little girl named Stella. Stella became a very picky eater after she stopped nursing. She loved cheese- lots of cheese. And she loved bread- lots of bread. And sometimes she would eat pasta (but only as long as there was cheese on it). She did not, however, like peas, carrots, green beans, broccoli, sweet potatoes, squash and cauliflower- or anything that did not resemble cheese or bread.

So she ate cheese and bread for lunch and dinner. Over and over and over again.

The mommy tried to hide carrots in her cheese quesadilla at lunchtime. Stella discovered them when she took her first bite and got so mad that she threw her quesadilla on the floor. The mommy went and beat her head against the kitchen counter.

The daddy showed Stella how to eat her veggies to encourage her to try them. Stella decided to kindly offer her daddy the rest of her veggies instead. Then proceeded to dump them on the kitchen floor. The mommy went and banged her head against the kitchen counter again.

This continued every evening with no end in sight.


The end.



*A sad and rather short story.* (Hey, I never promised it would have a happy ending).
