Apology

For years my parents struggled with an uncharacteristically stubborn little boy on eating his vegetables. The older, wiser version of himself would like to apologize. It took awhile, but he finally came around. Listed below are the top 5 things that they heard plenty of and the top 5 things they probably thought they would never here him say...but might be glad he's saying now.

5. -12 year-old Josh "Two sides? Can I get two scoops of mashed potatoes?"
-25 year-old Josh "Two sides? I think I will go with the steamed vegetables and Cesar salad."

4. -12 year-old Josh "I like my bratwurst plain."
-25 year-old Josh "Could you pass the sauerkraut?"

3. -12 year-old Josh "The roast is my favorite part of the roast."
-25 year-old Josh "The carrots and onions are my favorite part of the roast." (apology extended to Brandon on this one as well)

2. -12 year-old Josh "Couldn't I just have a hot dog?"
-25 year-old Josh "Honey, do we have any broccoli for the stir fry?"

1. -12 year-old Josh "This would be really good with some cheese."
-25 year-old Josh "This would be really good with some tomatoes, capers, and green onions."
