Rotten Corn

Last night at the dinner table, we had a funny experience for us. To set it up...Jarel likes canned corn. I cannot stand the stuff. I think it smells bad and tastes horrible. My kids have never tasted it, because I just don't serve it. So last night, we had chicken and rice and I was looking for a vegetable to go with it. I had some avacados that I wanted, so as a nice wife, I thought Jarel would like the canned corn. I got a can, plugged my nose and opened up the stuff. I heated it up and then when I was serving the dinner, I put some corn on the kids plates. I didn't know what they would think of it, but I didn't say a word to them and just let them taste it and see what happens. Makena was excited to see corn on her plate, because she likes corn. She took a kernel and ate it and didn't eat another bite. She told Kali that the corn was rotten and not to eat it. I was laughing because Jarel doesn't understand why I can't stand the stuff. So when Makena said that, it was awesome! So the rest of the night if one of the kids was teasing or wasn't listening...we told them they had to go eat the "rotten corn!" Jarel's corn was eaten up...don't know how he does it! He must not have great taste buds!
