To have turned my nose up at this meal DD made?

[CrohnicallyAnxious]

It was an egg. Just one whole egg. Cold, and served on a plastic plate. I'm not sure it was even cooked to be honest.

So AIBU to have cried and said 'don't want it!' (Which incidentally, is exactly what DD said when presented with her perfectly edible meal earlier).

DD seemed to think I was unreasonable, judging by the way she took my plate away, dumped it on the side in the kitchen and threw her hands up in the air.

I always pretend to eat toy/ pretend food....

But I do draw the line at cups of bathwater DD insists on me drinking when her and her brother have been stewing in it for half an hour! Very ungrateful I know

Yanbu. I do as Jenny said too (although not pg), it's too hot/too cold/I'd like juice/no..... Apple juice, err.... I mean pineapple juice, no I'd like milk actually. Then it's in the wrong cup, wrong colour and I'd like a small spoon not that big one.
But I'm a cm'er so am paid to torment/teach these children things and role playing and messing about like that really does help their language skills.

Tbh I do find these types of threads a bit repetitive, just ova and ova again.

When DS1 was small, he put a plateful of plastic food into the electric oven without telling me. The resulting aroma when I later switched on the oven to warm it up put him off all notions of preparing food for me for years.

All this joking is unnecessary. It's no laughing batter.

Excellent posts! Everyone's really coming out of their shell tonight!

You guys are poaching all my best yolks!

better did you meant egg-cellent posts?

Definitely, Clanger - that was better than Better's! (sigh) But I'll soldier on regardless...

I think we're running out of puns - I can just picture you all, scrambling for just one more.

Reminds me of when my brother was young. Mum and Dad got up and found cracked eggs, sausages and bacon strewn round the fire (guarded by a fireguard). He was trying to "cook" breakfast.

• fire was obviously not on of course!

Anyone got any nog nog yolks?

You also need to say, can I eat it by the telly?

To which, the correct answer is no, followed by, why?

Perfection on a plate!

Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin): 9% of the RDA.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): 15% of the RDA.

Vitamin A: 6% of the RDA.

Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid): 7% of the RDA.

Selenium: 22% of the RDA.

Gloopy - It's amazing how long the puns can go on - we just egg each other on!

This is eggactly the sort of thing I expect on MN. Cracking behaviour.

OP - you should have asked for it "cutted up". And then cried hopelessly when she pretended to do so because she had "cutted up" your egg.

Oh my word, some eggcelent puns on here!

chazs not quite as good as cutted up pear, but DD did have a cracking tantrum when I 'broke' her banana.

Did she expect you to stick it back together again.

I think so- but when I suggested I could eat it if she didn't want it, suddenly the broken banana was more appealing than no banana!
