			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright" title="Jell-O instant lemon pudding" src="https://www.epiceriedirect.com/lookproducts.php?id_pro=6305" alt="" width="350" height="275" />You know that you&#8217;ve spent too much time fighting to get your kids to eat when you are arguing with them to eat their dessert.  That seems to be the position I found myself last night with my son over a bowl of lemon pudding.  We had made an instant box of it and divvied it up 4 ways evenly.  My daughter, my wife and I ate ours up pretty swiftly (it <em>IS</em> pudding &#8211; there isn&#8217;t really any chewing and what&#8217;s not to like), but my son seemed to eat about half of his and then proceeded to engage in one of his favorite past times &#8211; jumping on and dismantling the couch.</p>
<p>I only pushed him on the pudding to get a sense of whether he was even interested in finishing it &#8211; not to force it on him (the less sugar the better, really).  But he was too busy bouncing around to pay any attention to the line of questioning.  So I finally put it such that if he doesn&#8217;t want the rest, someone else would gladly finish it for him &#8211; to which my 5-year-old daughter responds <strong><em>&#8220;I&#8217;d like to volunteer to be that person.&#8221;</em></strong> I swear that not a week goes by that she doesn&#8217;t surprise me with some new word or phrase that she has seamlessly integrated into her vocabulary.</p>
