Thoroughly Poetic Thursday #183

Poetic Thursday hosted by our pals Teddy and Angel Sammy 

at Two Spoiled Cats

 

Here is our challenge

This is true story about introducing new foods to my darling daughter. 

At about 8 months old, it was time to introduce new groups of veggies and fruits.

I was told to do it slowly to make sure she had no

allergies to them.

It was 1972, I had a very handy dandy

dish with divided sections to warm her food.  There was a pop up opening on the side (much like a valve for blowing up an innertube) to add hot water.  It warmed the food to room temperature in just a few minutes.  There was also a suction cup on the bottom to secure the dish to the high chair tray. 

So fast forward to the week I am introducing green veggies to her.

Next on the list was mushy green disgusting peas**. (Yes I tasted them).  She eagerly opened her mouth.  What happened next was really not a surprise** but more of a shock.

She made face just like the child in the photo.  Her hands were in the air, they came down with such force on the sides of the dish the suction cup came loose. The mushy green disgusting peas went on the walls, on me, some even made it to the ceiling. 

BUT NOT ONE DROP OF THEM GOT ON HER!!!
