Meg decided she was finished with Leah getting all the attention in the kitchen, so she whipped up some amazing looking soup. She carefully selected a handful of interesting ingredients and put them all together in her favorite pink bowl. Then rather than try it out herself, she asked me to do the honors.
While I admired the creativity and self-directed effort, I couldn't muster the courage to take a bite of the soggy leftover popcorn kernels, smartie-wrapper-infested soup bomb.
She was puzzled and I may have killed her spirit for cooking, but a mom can only do so much for a child and this was crossing the line. She'll have to find a different outlet for the creativity that is busting out of her these days.
