You think you know your kids and then they throw you a curve ball. The other day we were watching "Nim's Island". It is the story of a 10 year old girl that lives with her father on an island out in the middle of the ocean. Aside from a satellite internet connection they are pretty much cut off from the world. They have supplies dropped shipped several times a year. For the most part they live off the land. In one scene she is making dinner out of various eatables indigenous to their island one of which was mealworms. Of course I had to ask the kids if they would eat worms:
Emily: (head shaking "No" vigorously)
Courtney: (Huge smile and giggle) No!
Benjamin: (Long pause...deep thought) Well...only in the soup.
I should have asked a long time ago. We could have saved a fortune on groceries!
