Papa Joe has been promising (threatening?) to feed Betty Oreos since the day she was born. (I really mean that--he was talking about it in the hospital). Unlike the unfortunate Train Incident, this time I think his schemes to spoil the grandbabies might work out. As far as I know, Betty has never in her life seen or tasted a cookie. She's never seen Cookie Monster on TV. She has no idea that cookies exist. And yet somehow, when Steele got out his Oreos for a snack, she was transfixed. I went upstairs to get the camera, and when I came back down she was still gazing longingly at this cookie. The conversation that followed went something like this.
Me: you know, you're supposed to model good eating behaviors.
Steele: you told me already.
Me: so you should eat lentil soup for a snack [I was eating lentil soup. It's delicious.]
Steele: I'm not going to eat lentil soup.
It's official. I'm outnumbered.
Haha, it was inevitable.
