"Mom, what's for lunch?"
"I don't know, yet. What do you want?"
"I don't know, but I'm hungry."
"If you tell me what you want then I'll make it for you."
"But, I don't know what I want. Can I have pizza?"
"No"
"Then what can I have?"
"How about peanut butter and jelly?"
"But, I don't want that...."
And so it goes on and on.
Well, one day I decided to be prepared for that conversation. It went something like this:
"Mom, what's for lunch?"
"Octopus."
"WHAT?!?"
"Yeah, I'm making octopus and shells."
"That's disgusting. I'm not eating that (followed by whimpers and groaning.)"
"But, you'll love it, I promise."
They all walked out and looked at the table and lunch was smiling up at them. No matter what I tried, I couldn't convince them that the octopus was really a hot dog and that it really didn't have tentacles.
They bit the heads off, but wouldn't touch the tentacles. 
Food is always better when it smiles back at you!

Hi Anne,
Just reading your blog and came across the octopus story. That was so funny, I didn't expect that at all. I can't belive they wouldn't eat it!
