Snack Time

"I'll just eat the frosting."

We had another walking field trip yesterday. I promised the kids a snack when we returned because the walk was about 2 miles round trip. One little guy told me he didn't like the Wal-Mart brand NutriGrain bars I brought so he would "just eat the frosting". I replied with the famous, "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit." He went ahead and ate the snack.
