"You're the best friend"

When served a second helping of spinach, my two-year old grandson,  Oliver, gave his mother a big smile and said, "Thanks, you're the best friend."

Mark and Julie with their two children had returned to North Carolina after spending the holidays with relatives in Louisiana. Some of you may remember granddaughter Lily surprising me two years ago when she ate three helpings of mustard greens.  She ate greens again this holiday. Is that normal for children?

I'm worried that Child Services may act if they learn that these children are fed not only greens and spinach but things like broccoli, brussel sprouts and a variety of fruit.   Even a former president refused to eat broccoli.
