Thai Her Up

The Toddler likes Thai food. I mean, she really likes Thai food. I wouldn't call it her favorite, but that's only because she would then immediately start refusing to eat it. It's a good thing she likes Thai, because the grown-ups in the house like Thai, too. We eat it at least once a month and I would hate to have to be that annoying lady that orders French fries in a Thai restaurant. Honestly, I'd probably make her suffer and starve before I stooped to that level.

Anyway, she loves noodles, she enjoys vegetables (especially the miniature corn), she adores rice, and the little woman never met an eggroll she didn't want to demolish.

And I do mean DEMOLISH.

In direct violation of the Laws of Eggrolls, the child pulverizes eggrolls. She rips them to shreds, tossing aside bits and pieces in her quest to inhale her favorite part.

The cabbage.

She doesn't eat the outer fried yummy perfection.

I know! That is in direct violation of Eggroll Law Number 2 which specifically states that you should never deface the eggroll by eating only the inside. (Law Number 1 states though shalt enjoy the outer fried yummy perfection.)

I know.

I have reported her to the Eggroll Police, but they must have a backlog going on because they haven't responded yet.

Yes, I would allow the Eggroll Police to imprison my child for her crimes.

If she would let ME eat the outer fried yummy perfection, then I might consider protecting her. She refuses. "MINE!" "DON TOSH!" It brings a tear to my eyes to see all that outer fried yummy perfection go to waste.

Just thinking about it upsets me.

Poor, poor eggroll.
