Greetings

I pray you find splendid reasons to laugh today…

I wanted to share one of mine... occurred a few weeks ago.

Yours truly did a quick glance at the kids new school’s menu

And guess what I saw?

BROWN RICE

I told my kids and they exclaimed 

“Mommy oh my goodness…what are we going to eat on that day?”

My response? Looks like you’re going to be tasting some brown rice.

It was going to be served with a side of grilled chicken and some veggies.

Then they reported me to one of their grandmothers…

The nerves …

My own mother…

Her reply: “Oh that’s good

I’m so proud of you for eating healthy”

They didn’t know the apple didn’t fall too far from the tree…

She (their grandmother =my mother) went on:

“Good job eating healthier early…

I wish I had brown rice when I was younger”

They asked to speak to grandpa …

Grandpa cannot stand brown rice and has asked for me to never make it for him again the last time I tried to.

But grandpa was not available on the video call …

Me: in the background laughing with pure glee

“You know it’s ONCE a month it’s on your menu”

Try it… it is fibrous but good for you!

As you get used to it… ONCE a month… you may be surprised that you grow to like it”

This letter is meant to make you laugh but it is also a "try something healthier" reminder. It may not be so bad...every once in a while.

I come in peace and with brown rice,
