A Munson tradition that will hopefully improve with age!

So when Chris was growing up he always got to pick what his birthday dinner would be and thought it would be cool to do the same for our kids. Well today is Brooklyn's real birthday and her requested feast consists of the following:

• Cottage Cheese
• Pickles
• Peanut butter and jelly on crackers

Really?? I ask...."Brooke wouldn't it be fun to go to Chuckie Cheese for your birthday" (hoping we can at least upgrade to a slice of cardboard pizza) "Yeah, but can we bring our special dinner with us?" And so tradition stands we will gorge on pickles and cottage cheese tonight. And of course every parenting clique seems to come back to bite us...... We have a rule at the dinner table ..... you have to at least try a bite, if you don't like it you leave it on your plate, but you have to at least try. Brooke knowing full well that I don't like pickles smirks as she reads off her dinner list to me "Mom you have to at least try the pickle" hmmmmm note to self - eat a big lunch on the kids birthdays!
