MIL buys these GAWD-AWFUL yogurts for Max that have crappy characters on them claiming, HE just throws these things into the cart! So funny. Why not just say, I love buying him what he wants, its part of the fun of being a grandma! Nope, that would be too much honesty. Its better to blame the kid.

Anyway, per his usual morning snack request, I gave him one of those crappy character yogurts. However, not before carefully cleaning the cup out and transferring his soy yogurt into it.

He knew something was off after the first bite. No, after his first glance down. He’s well versed in crappy yogurts courtesy of MIL thinking they are all the same. What can a mama do? A little Crap Food for the pleasure of having grandparents who love you’re children to pieces… its all good. She's been on good behavior, lately, so I'm enjoying it.

He took a few bites then claimed he wanted a “different” one. What? They’re all the same! I say to him. In the fridge he went, picked out a different pictured cup, handed it to me and matter-of-factly said, “I want the one with a snake on it.” Uh, okay. Go sit down and I’ll get it for you.

He did and I went through the same process of transferring the gross for the good.

When he saw what was in the cup he said, “This is the same as the yogurt I already have! I didn’t know they were the same! Arrrrg!”

He ate half the cup and now he’s working on some grapes.

So yeah, being a good mama to a toddler means a lot of love and a little deception.
