Brainwashed - Part 2

At the supermarket today, Car Guy got himself Cheetos and Fritos.  Penguin Girl saw that in the shopping cart and demanded in a really disgusted voice, "Daddy, that is all junk.  Why are you buying junk?  Why do you want to eat that?"  Car Guy replied with a lie, "Oh, it's not for me.  I'm bringing it to work for the people there for a snack."  And then I said, "I think you should bring some potato chips too."

Brainwashed

I have Doritos on the brain because we were at the in-laws' house and my father-in-law really likes Doritos.  It's his one vice.  It's such a yummy shot of MSG, salt, and fat.

Today we were at the supermarket and I was eyeing the Doritos flavors.  Penguin Girl sees what I'm looking at and said, "Ewwww.  Junky!  We have the red and the blue kind at school for snack.  Junky!"  She doesn't get to eat the communal snack unless it's a child's birthday because it's always junk food even though the teacher asks the parents to send in healthy foods.  I send good stuff like fruit and trail mix.  So I asked her if she would like to eat the Doritos on occasion.  She's had them at the ILs' so she knows what they taste like.  She said no, she prefers Mommy's snack.  Good girl!

How could I buy Doritos right in front of her?

Maybe tomorrow when she's at school.

Penguin Girl and I have been working on a little dollhouse.  It's made from a unfinished wooden CD holder from Michaels.  It needs some interior details but it's mostly done.  Penguin Girl picked out the colors.  You can't see it but some parts of it are glittery from a coat of sparkly Mod Podge.

Things Learned at School

On the bus yesterday, a 2nd grader, taught her the Batman Smells version of Jingle Bells.  Penguin Girl was really surprised that I knew the words also.  

And instead of wearing her typical uniform of pants and long-sleeved shirt, she started layering a white short-sleeved polo over and navy long-sleeved polo for contrast.  I asked her why she put on the 2 shirts and her reply was that it still counts as uniform so she can.  I don't think I tried being that kind of stylish until high school.
