This definitely goes into the “That’s odd” category.
My children have a bad habbit of digging in the fridge for things and grazing. This wouldn’t be half so bad if they grazed on normal things, like cheese, etc. But they don’t. Catsup has been known to disappear. And Mustard, and Relish. Opa, upon hearing this, in a attempt to spoil the kids and make our lives easier? Gave each child an unusual present. The Bug got a jar of mustard, which is his vice, and the Cat got Catsup. This was meant to be their very own, for them to use.
Not being one to deny my children the thrill of experimentation, I’ve let them follow their whims. The only rule is, no matter what it is they do, they’ve gotta eat it. This has resulted in some odd things. The oddest, by far, though, turned up this morning. Cat enjoyed a nice, refreshing bowl of Fruitloops and catsup, and the Bug enjoyed a fruit loop or two, [a more cautious sort, that one],, with mustard. I think the thing that boggles my mind the most is that they both ate them, without complaint and with dare I say it, enjoyment?
I thought my brother was odd for having syrup on eggs. Hmm. Maybe I’d better not mention that to my kids …

Fruitloops with catsup…. EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.
I shudder at the thought.
Now then, this was on purpose syrup on eggs… not just syrup wandering over on the plate to the eggs…
Double ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

you are obviously missing out! The only way I will even consider eating eggs is if they are drowned in maple syrup!!!
YUMMY!

I thought my childhood breakfast of pancakes and mellow yellow was bad! That is too funny.

I love that you give your kids the freedom to experiment…though catsup and fruitloops….ugh.

It’s amazing what kids will do just to prove us wrong sometimes.
My sister’s concoction was chocolate icecream and mashed potatoes. I still shudder at the thought.
And my own girlchild will do just about anything with ranch dressing.
