Sunday was Rob's birthday and we were at the in laws for Sunday lunch.
I found myself starting a familiar conversation with Thomas.
"If you don't eat all of those carrots you won't get any cake."
Which we were all secretly hoping would be the outcome seeming as my mother in law had whipped up a super yummy looking chocolate fudge cake in honour of the super spoilt birthday boy.
"Carrots aren't for boys!"
And before I could respond,
Very matter of factly.
"Carrots make boys sick!"
Well you have to give him an A for effort, right?
But he did eat all his carrots that day, and managed to do so without getting sick.
If only I had chocolate fudge cake on hand for bribery every day.
Check back later for the result of my giveaway.

lmao love that logic!
I missed the giveaway, but love that it was chocolate. Yummy, real English chocolate.
My son doesn't bribe well with chocolate, give him Skittles and that's a whole other story...
How funny!! It was definitely a good try! I would for sure give him an A+ for effort!
Hmmmm...you could try carrot cake ;)
Yum! Your constant chocolate posts are KILLING me! You have got to stop. I am serious. I am on my way to the kitchen right now to get some.
It's always good to have cake around as a bribe. It never fails here. Never!
I applaud his effort.
Anyone willing to try so hard for a chocolate is a friend in my book :)
hahaha! he is verrrrrrry clever!
Glad to hear that he survived being forced to eat Carrots.
I remember refusing oatmeal. That stuff was NOT for girls!!
You gotta give the boy credit for creativity!
Glad he didn't make himself get sick as a backup plan.
I'm pretty sure there is some truth in what your son said. Because really....if he ate like 25 pounds of carrots, he really WOULD get sick. Or maybe if they were old, moldy carrots, right?
Your son is truly a genius.
Oh, and I'll take some cake now too.... :)
That's hilarious...my Jack would totally say something like that! If you get a sec, read my post called "most important meal of the day" from this week...lil' booger!
Happy POW! Your blog is really cute...this is my first visit!
That was great thinking on his part!! I wonder what other foods aren't FOR boys!!! :)
Happy POW!
lol~ That is just too cute!
Can't blame him for trying right?
I agree...it is so nice when you have dessert to hold over there heads.
Very cute! Happy POW!
