Two Bites to be Polite

Every family has their own rules and regulations when it comes to eating. At our house it is pretty simple. First, each child must eat "two bites to be polite" of each dish. In addition, if they do not eat enough dinner, they do not get any sort of dessert (if one is offered). While I consider myself to be a master chef (haha), there still seem to be some children in this household who do not always appreciate my culinary prowess. The other night at dinner, Ammon was suffering through his "politeness" bites of the delicious Au gratin potatoes I made.

And people wonder why I am insecure about my cooking abilities!

Everyone was chanting "Ammon! Ammon! Ammon!"
Doing okay so far...
Trying to keep it down (believe it or not, we have had vomit on our dinner plates on more than one occasion!)
He did it! After all that fuss, he actually decided he quite liked the potatoes and had no problem finishing up. Sigh...
