"Sushi Roll"

Once upon a time (this evening) as I was in the kitchen cooking dinner, my girl Ryan came in to talk to me.  Reagan is screaming in the background because it's dinner time and well, that girl likes to eat.

Here is how this story goes.

Ryan - "Mommy do you like sushi rolls?" remember Reagan is still hollering

Me - "No baby, I don't like sushi.  Do you like sushi rolls?"
In my mind I'm wondering what does she know about sushi.  I just assumed that maybe there was a birthday party at her school and someone brought sushi to share??  I asked if she had tasted sushi before and she said yes and I was a bit confused but I was also busy trying NOT to burn the veggies so...I don't know, I rolled with it.

Ryan - "Well mama, I like sushi rolls. They taste so good.  I really like sushi rolls."

Me - "Okay, well maybe one day we can go get you some sushi rolls."
and I finish cooking our wonderful dinner of tilapia, rice, and sautéed veggies (zucchini, broccoli, carrots, and spinach) - one of the RC girls favorite meals.

Fast forward to the dinner table....

We all sat down to eat our lovely meal.  Reagan had finally stopped crying - food is one of the only things that makes her be quiet  and we are all having friendly dinner time conversation.

Ryan - "Mama, I'm full.  Can I be done now?"

Me - "I need you to take one more bite of your fish and then you can get up"

Ryan - "O.k., then can I have dessert.  You promised me that I could have dessert after dinner today"
Because at the House of Hamptons, dessert is not an everyday thing.  I do not want my girls to get in the habit of thinking they are supposed to have something sweet every evening after dinner.

Me - "Yes, baby.  I promised you could have dessert. What would you like?"

Ryan - " I want something out of that bowl", as she points to the candy/fruit dish sitting on the counter.

Me - "Okay, what would you like?", as I take the bowl off the counter so that she can reach what she wants.

Ryan - "I want that sushi roll", as she grabs a Tootsie Roll from the dish.

The End.

Just like that.

I hope you are laughing as hard as R and I laughed this evening.
