OUR PINK FLOYD MOMENT

It actually happened tonight. Her Awesomeness made some yummy shepherd's pie, but Beast and Noodle weren't having any of that. At least Noodle picked around the ground buffalo and gobbled up the mashed potatoes and corn - but still, it was frustrating enough that out came:

If you don't eat your meat...um...

(at this point we realized what we'd said and that we might as well bring it on home)

...you can't have any pudding! How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat?

And then a "stand still, laddie!" for Beast just for good measure, even though he was by now happily plowing his way through the shepherd's pie. For our next trick, we'll have breakfast while a giant inflatable pig soars over the kitchen table.
