Mother of the Year? I think not

As I have been working around the house today, I have realized that life of a mother is strange. If you really think about it, we do really weird things, like wash our children's faces 50 times a day, knowing that the next time we see them, they will need it again; we wash the same clothes over and over again, knowing that in a couple of days, we will have to wash them again, and we find ourselves cooking food that we know our children will not eat, however, I did find a cure for this. JD is pretty good at eating whatever I give him, but he hates "green stuff". Last night for dinner, I made this chicken casserole that had chunks of chicken, which he loves, noodles, which he loves, cheese, which he loves, corn, which he loves, and peas, which he does not love because of the mere fact that they are green. So, he didn't really eat much for dinner, and I fed then the same thing for lunch. I noticed that he was not eating, so I decided to show him a pictures of starving children, and I found this one.... http://www.hoslink.com/medical_images/Starving_child_carried.jpg

needless to say, after I explained to him about how this little girl looks this way because she and her family have no food, and that she would be more than happy to eat his peas, he decided that peas weren't such bad thing, and he went back in the kitchen and cleared his plate.
I am so smart.... SMRT
I don't think that the action I took would necessarily vote me into the best mother of the year awards, but it was effective.
