Little B is eating a bowl of ‘white pasta’ – plain pasta with a bit of butter stirred through it. What she doesn’t know is that I also stirred through a little bit of chicken soup, (what she doesn’t know won’t hurt her), in a bid to widen her repertoire of dinners. Feeling all proud of my sneaky ways when she polished off the bowl, I revealed the soupy addition, to which she said:
“Oh mummy, but I didn’t like it.”
“But you ate it all up, so you must have liked it!”
“No mummy, I just tried it a lot.”
A 4 year old’s logic just can’t be argued with…
