veggie giveaway

It's a pretty common for this to happen:

*Knock Knock*
Me: Hey Jill.
Jill: Hey, can I have some bread? I'm out and Sean wants a sandwich.
Me: Sure. Do you have any coke over there?

or...

One of the girls: What are you making?
Me: Something yummy. Want to help me to take some to Jill?

or...

Jill: Hey I made cookies! Here is your plate!

so.........

I was in the kitchen making dinner last night. None of my family like vegetables but I faithfully make them anyway and eat them alone. Osmosis right? Ellie was watching me get out the brocolli, califlower and carrots.

Ellie: What is that?
Me: Califlower.
Ellie: Yucky.
Me: No...it's so yummy.
Ellie: No...its not.
Me: I love this stuff.
Ellie: *puts the lid back on the casserole dish full of veggies and wraps her little arms and hands around the dish to pick it up* You need to make NEW food.
Me: Why?
Ellie: THIS is for Jill.
