What's for dinner?
Not so commonly called out around here anymore.
When we were younger and had small children.
The "What's for dinner?" was usually followed by, "do I have to eat it?"
"If you don't want to go hungry, yes you have to eat it." was typically our reply.
Otherwise, after sitting at the table stubbornly refusing to eat, the chorus of I'm hungry came from out of the mouths of our children.
I didn't let them go hungry, there was usually a peanut butter sandwich made before bed.
Ah Parental frustrations.
I don't miss them.
Oh wait, now our grand pulls the same stunt.
Thank God for peanut butter!
This pair of parents must work hard to feed their hungry mouths.
In most nests, the eggs are laid a few days apart.
Hence, they hatch a few days apart.
It's not uncommon for number one to become the only one because he was there first.
He's had a couple extra days to learn the routine and leave the sibling in the dust.
Or at least a hungry belly.
