On The “Do Not Like” List

The 5 y.o.: Blech. These MnM’s taste disgusting! Add them to my ‘Do Not Like’ list. F. Y. I., my ‘Do Not Like’ list also includes: brownies, casserole, spinach, well – any green vegetable actually, chocolate ice cream, food with nuts, shrimp, salad except for tomatoes because I LOVE tomatoes…
The Mom: Well, these are milk chocolate MnM’s in Fall colors, so I’ll get the regular ones next time I’m at the store, k?
The 5 y.o.: Mmm. Ok. Get some gum too. Good gum like Bubblicious. Not that rectangle Watermelon-Trident stuff that I can’t blow bubbles with. Oh – and lollipops. And get Swedish Fish too. Skittles. Sour Patch Kids. Yeah – you need to stock up when you’re there.
