Changes

Posted on | July 1, 2008 | 4 Comments

Why has my very soon to be 3 year old son, Fionn morphed from angelic this:

to this:

Lunchtime today:

Me: “Would you like some toasted ham and cheese sandwiches for lunch Fionn?”

Fionn: “No, I want flat eggs with toast.” (Sibéal’s term for poached eggs)

Me: “Are you sure, I think you’d prefer ham and cheese? I havent seen you eat poached eggs in ages and your other sister and brothers are having ham and cheese”

Fionn: “No, I want flat eggs.”

So I go and cook Sibéal and himself poached eggs and the rest of the kids opt for ham and cheese toasties.

Me: “There you go Fionn, your flat eggs”

Fionn roars: “I wanted ham and cheese” as if I’ve cunningly tricked him into asking for the eggs.

Me: “Grand so.”

Arrggghhh, this may be the start of a very long summer!

    ROFL. I’m still a bit like this myself. I get food swings all the time! :) Flat eggs is a good term too!

    Hey Marie,
    It was funny and totally out of character for him as he’s usually quite easy going. Thankfully he’s been in better form since.
