Who Doesn't Like Apples



Even though Dwayne and I have been together for over 12 years, I am still always finding out something new about him. So, imagine how shocked I was when he told me yesterday he doesn't like apples or pears. Seriously, I've never heard of someone not liking apples.

He made a comment about how I put a pear in his lunch bag yesterday. Yes, I pack his lunch for work every single day. I told y'all he's spoiled.

The reason I didn't know about this particular dislike is because he eats food that he doesn't like simply because he knows it's healthy. So, let me run down a list of the things I can think of right now that he doesn't like. Let me know if you think it's a bit weird.

apples
pears
peaches
raspberries
blackberries
blueberries
papaya
cabbage
yellow squash
zucchini
okra
asparagus
tofu

Okay, that's all I can think of off the top of my head. But, he'll actually eat most of these things and just have a nasty face at the end. Weirdo!

I don't like cooked spinach and mango. I love raw spinach in a salad though. Seriously, that's all I can think of.

Can you believe he gets mad when the kids don't like a certain food? I have to remind him that they have his picky genes running all through them. They're not old enough to determine that they will eat it anyway because it's healthy.

So, I have concluded that my husband is crazy. The end.

He is not crazy concerning healthy food. I think a lot of people eat things they don't care for because they are healthy. Now, he is crazy for being mad at the children for not liking certain food. He just needs to explain why they should eat it even though they don't like it.

That is too funny. I am a very picky eater, but I will happily eat everything on that list (except okra and papaya). I wish I ate things because they were healthy, even though I don't like the taste. That's probably because my mom never forced me to eat certain things. Ever since I was a baby I only ate certain foods. She probably just got tired after a few years. LOL!

If he doesn't like peaches why does he eat the dump cake?

i don't like apples or pears either. I've been told that I'm a fruit snob. I don't eat any common fruit (I don't like banans or organges) but like most exotic fruit except papaya. All of my food issues are texture related though. I have very specific rules about what foods can be eaten together as well. But I wouldn't say I'm picky just selective. I'll try almost anything once and like some very "strange" foods. I however don't believe you have to eat foods u don't like just b/c they're healthy. It's more important to make sure you are eating a variety of foods to provide you with adequate nutrients. A diverse diet will ensure that

Motherhood

Yesterday, I had something to do so the kids went to their old sitter's house for a few hours. We got home later than intended so I knew I would be rushing to prepare dinner, get them bathed, and settled for the night. Here's what really happened. As soon as we entered the house, Brayden started running around saying "Mommy, I have to pee". So we rush into the bathroom and as soon as his pants are unbuttoned, he starts peeing on himself. I clean him up and decide they can play in the tub while I start preparing dinner. As soon as we get to the kitchen, Danica throws up all over me, herself, and the floor. So, I take her to our bathroom and bathe her. Before I can get her pj's buttoned up, Brayden starts screaming "I have to pee!" Because he just went all over the bathroom floor, I'm a little perplexed. I run to their bathroom anyway only to find out he didn't have to pee, he had to poop and had already dropped two bombs in the bathtub where his s...

In Memory...

Staff Sergeant Javares Washington was killed in Kuwait. He was my cousin. My cousin died yesterday...in Kuwait...and I'm so very sad. I feel like I can't breathe. My heart is broken. We grew up like siblings. His mom had him at a very young age. She wasn't ready to take care of him. So, he lived with us for years. He was like my brother. And now, I'm in shock. I'm going to miss him so much. The military has only said he was in a government vehicle on patrol and it flipped over. We don't know what caused the flip or anything. I want to go home. He was married and had two children. His son, Jayden, is 6 years old and looks just like him. His daughter, Tristin, is 9 months old. My heart is broken.

Love at First Sight

I am absolutely in love with this little girl. Danica was born with a heart murmur but we found out today it's no longer there. We are so happy with this little perfect being and can't wait to get to know her more.
