Last night Austin helped me make creamy turkey soup using congealed turkey stock I made the day before.
Apparently Austin has given up on me because he called Autumn into the kitchen and told her, what else? "I'll give you five bucks if you eat this" "What is it?" "Turkey Jell-O" "O.K." And I'm not kidding, she ate it, no reservations. She didn't gag or flinch. She didn't think it was too bad. Then to top it off Aspen came in demanding a bite of "Turkey Jell-O." Austin initially told her no, but that just made her want it more. Crying ensued and she got her bite. Again, no gaging, nothing. She just said "I no like it." I can't believe it! I can't get these kids to try anything new, maybe jell-o is the key. Perhaps that's how green jell-o with carrots came about--mom's discovered kids will eat anything in jell-o. When it was all said and done Autumn promptly demanded her five bucks. Guess who had to pay her.

HA!! I love it. I can't believe she ate it either. Turkey jello does not sound appealing to me - even for five bucks!
That is too funny! My kids would not do that. I take that back-my son probably would now that he is older and pretty much loves to prove people wrong about everything.
Oh that is awesome! I wonder if we have chicken jello then maybe I can get Aiden to eat more food. :)
That is the funniest thing I've ever heard! And Ewww...turkey jello?
Your kids are so funny--and so smart. I also love your stories from the "mouth of babes..." I remember taking Autumn home from something one day and she commented on "how much construction was going on around us." It was such an adult thing to say--and to notice. What a cutie!
That is truely foul. Reminds me of a space ghost episode. (Boy does that tag me as a geek!) I'm glad I found your blog. What a nice peek into your family's life.
