What's For Dinner?

Dinner

Dinner is a big deal around our house.

"What's for dinner? Did you take anything out for dinner? When are we going to eat dinner?"

Quite often we begin planning the next night's dinner in the midst of dinner.

Halfway through chicken, corn and mashed potatoes I am already thinking about what we will eat tomorrow night.

A lot of planning and conversation are involved in this end of the day meal.

Sometimes I think too much energy is focused on dinner.

A meal that is thought about, planned, prepared and served.

And on cue, two minutes into the meal, cries begin.

"Can I be done? I am so full."

Stomach clutching, waterworks, etc.

The same antics that were used in anticipation of the meal as they cried, "When are we going to eat? I am staaaarving!"

Some nights I think about not cooking dinner at all, just to see if anyone will notice.
