As I start to write this, I'm realizing that I have done a lot of posts about food. Hmmm...I'll worry about that later.
Sam loves bread. White bread, wheat bread, bagels, hot dog buns...he loves it. It is the only thing he asks for at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Sometimes I can get away with a little peanut butter or lunch meat along with it, but he just wants bread. I can't count the number of times I've simply pulled a slice out of the bag and handed it to him for his afternoon snack.
Recently we were grocery shopping and I threw a loaf into the cart. "BREAD!" Sam cried. He snatched it up and hugged it to himself, singing, "Bread bread bread! Bread bread bread!"
I can't imagine what the people around me thought. Wouldn't a child have to be half-starved to be that excited about bread? "Sam," I found myself hissing at him, "Don't talk about bread in front of other people."
At James' game last Saturday Sam was getting hungry. "Bread? Mama, bread? Please?" he begged as he hung off my legs. Having no bread with me, I tried to ignore him. He ended up in a heap at my feet, crying, occasionally having enough air to gasp, "Bread!" before dissolving into tears again. There were about 50 other parents there who could testify that I have a child who is so neglected, he cries for bread as his mother ignores him.
I'm going to jail.

HA!!! I'm not laughing because you think you are going to jail of course. God, this is hilarious though. Maybe you and Sam can come up with a secret code word for bread? =)
Henry's a bread-lover too. If I leave the loaf on the table, he'll help himself to a slice when he's hungry. :) And he (usually) has to eat it plain, and everything else he eats separately (tortillas, buns, you name it).
I am crying I am laughing so hard!!!
Give the kid a piece of bread already...sheez!
Good Stuff Em.
