I sent my 17 yo to the grocery with a list for the week's shopping. I whispered in her ear- "I am tired and cranky bring me back some sort of really yummy chocolate treat as well. Your choice."
She came back with the shopping list filled and, "Mom, I know you were probably craving chocolate but I bought frozen fruit for a smoothie for you instead because it will make you feel good."
Probably craving chocolate?!?
Choice time. A massive tantrum? I didn't WANT to feel good. I wanted Chocolate. Evil child.
Evil child who has evidently paid some attention to my droning on about healthy eating and/or she has Machiavellian abilities to torture her mother.
Back when she would have brought home chocolate; alas, also before she could drive.

Either way, Drat.

Yikes! Is this what happens when you're a good parent? Hmmm, maybe I need to take it down a notch. ;)
