My friends at work tease me because my children tend to snack on items not usually popular among kids. I myself am sometimes baffled that they eat so healthy. Hey, I'm not complaining.Last night, 7-year-old Griffin asked for a bedtime snack. Here's how that conversation unfolded:Me: What would you like?Griffin: I don't know. Can you give me some choices?Me: Sure...how about popcorn?Griffin: Ummmmm, no thanks, what else?Me: Hmmm, some tortilla chips?Griffin: (Shakes his head no.) I don't think so.Me: What about toast with peanut butter, or a chocolate-chip granola bar?Griffin: No thank you. Hey, I know! How about......"A can of tuna?"Yes, that's a can of tuna, PLAIN, with a fork.Who knew?

I've done that before... it's not too bad...
I'm grossed out! No mayor or relish?

Nope...no mayo, no relish, no nothing. And he wanted seconds.
Hmm. Well, it's the only food in the world that I don't eat, but if Griffin likes it, it's definitely better than some of the junk he could be snacking on right before bed! :)
