A Thanksgiving vignette

I think I might start writing my own Thanksgiving play. Right now it will just be a few short scenes, but eventually I'm sure it will work out to several acts. This year's script goes like this.

Mom: Kevin, you need to come eat with us now. They even have potatoes with butter. It's your favorite!
Kevin: I SAID I don't want to come eat.
Mom: Then maybe I should take you out to the car for a time out.
Kevin: I SAID I want potatoes with butter.

Note: Kevin never actually ate. After throwing a fit over the bowl he was given, then throwing a fit over the plate he was given, then throwing a fit over where he wanted to sit, he just sat on the couch for a while and went back downstairs.

I love the stories about your kids. It sounds like life is always an entertaining adventure (at least in retrospect).

He'll probably get called on his mission to somewhere like Korea and have to learn to eat things like rotten cabbage (Kimchi)...then you will have your revenge! I dream of these paybacks!

I'm guessing this kid will never have a weight problem with eating habits like that!
