We need to talk…

One of the things Holly and I struggle with at times is getting Sam to eat something new.  Tonight we had one of the best grilled dishes I've had in a long time (grilled strips of seasoned chuck roast with quartered zucchini, 5 stars).  I gave Sam one piece of meat to eat to make him try something new.  He wasn't happy with the choice, but it was early in the meal and decided he had plenty of time to re-negotiate the whole 'eat one piece' deal.  As we got near the end of the meal, Sam realized he still needed to eat the piece of meat.

Sam sat there for a minute and said, 'Dad, I think we need to wait a minute and have a talk.'  I sat there dumbfounded and laughed at the same time.
