The Ice Cream Man

The eating war wages on! Brady vs. adults. If you go by numbers alone it should be an easy victory for the parental figures, but its going to take more than a village before Brady waves the white flag/spoon. Over the past few weeks Brady has sealed up his lips like an iron gate. He has thrown in another tactical move which involves a whiplash like motion followed by a bobble and dive. It sounds complicated and it is. He is no amateur. I swear he was an anorexic teenager in a previous life. No fear, he is still gaining weight thanks to a healthy liquid diet. At this rate he will be nursing until he is 27.
In an attempt to end WWIII I put a tactical move of my own on the table.....ice cream, good old fashion sugary, creamy goodness. Let's just say thanks to the good people at Breyer's we have reached a truce. The iron gates fly open and while things are still frozen in bliss I stick him with some of the real stuff. It turns out Brady is so elated by the ice cream he hardly notices that he is slamming bananas, pears, peas and carrots.
For now both sides are at peace. Who knows what my mini commander will come up with next.
