Guidance counselor

Ever look at your child and think of what their perfect job would be as an adult? William's would be Temperamental Chef. The temperamental part he's got down pat. And the chef part definitely has potential. Last night we encouraged him to finish his broccoli by dipping it into the pool of barbecue sauce that was served with the chicken. Fine. When we brought out the strawberries for dessert--you can see where this is going--he proceeded to dip all of them into the barbecue sauce as well. Even his sister "the picky eater" tried and liked it. I get the sweet and sour thing but strawberries+barbecue never would have dawned on me. I love his adventurous palate. Maybe a five-year-old who likes cheese, mayo, mustard, and pickles on his salami sandwich isn't all that unusual. But it is compared to Katherine, for whom a salami sandwich is bread and salami. Rock on Chef William.
