Amazing How A Little Rice Teaches

I had lots of little tricks to teach lessons to the children, there were not always my own idea, I heard them sometimes on radio shows.
One day I became weary at the whining about the meals. I made wonderful casseroles often, if it was something the children had never tasted they would look in the dish and say "I don't like it." LOL

So one day I served 1/2 of cup of rise only to the children. Daddy got to have a full meal while the children were eating the 1/2 cup of rise for dinner.


On other days after that one meal of rice, they would look into the pot of stew and say, "what is it", I would say, "it's pig slop, are you going to eat it." After which they would reply, "it looks good Mom, yes we'll eat it."


See what 1/2 cup of rice can do, and it only needs to be done once. LOL


Interestingly enough, they ended up liking the food they said they "didn't like." Funny how motivating hunger can be.
