My Picky Eater, Part...I've Lost Track


I've got 6 more years until my oldest becomes a teenager. That gives me 6 years to prepare for all the sarcasm, moodiness, and disrespect that comes with an insolent teenage boy. So while he's playing loud music in his room behind closed doors and having me drop him off a block away from school, I'd like the record to show that I painstakingly--and with love--remove all the crunch berries from Cap'n Crunch cereal. That way, the offending crunch berries do not mingle with the more delectable yellow corn squares. I just hope he remembers this when he's 16!

  1. Sorry to burst your bubble but...he won't. That picture will go a long way, though. You can print it out and wave it in his face when he claims that you are the worst mom ever!

    Oh, and my brother is still the same picky eater. Hasn't changed. And he's 24 now.

  4. haha! and ya, I think you can just buy the Cap'n Crunch minus berries. ;)

    On a positive note, while my teen is still picky he can now pick things out or do without AND he will be seen with me in public, even at school...must be because I'm such a cool mom! :)

  10. Uh oh. Well, you never know. My brother turned out to be a good teen. But safe to have a plan to be prepared in case. ;)

  11. LOL! He might not remember it or want to remember it when he is 14 to 16! But he will remember every that was so good about you, by the time he is 18 to 25! :o) My oldest left home at 16, and came back at 18 a whole new person! :o)

    side note: save those berries for when he does get on your nerves and pelt him with them.
