Does a body good

Liam and his girls stopped by for a little while tonight. They asked for snack time, and after putting them off for a little while (and hearing them giggle about hoping to get ice cream), I called them into the dining room and plopped an onion in front of each of them.

They shrieked and then just looked at me.

"I have milk too," I told them.

After a moment, Zoe said, "Can I just have milk?"

"If you eat your onion."

They all looked at each other and then it seemed to settle in that I must be joking and they erupted in laughter. I might have played along a little more, but I was laughing too. I made them mini milkshakes and they had a few cookies.

Later we practiced juggling, which pretty much rendered the onions... unusable.
