Mouldy Croissant

Once a week Dolly’s nursery sell the end of day croissants from the local bakery with all the proceeds going to charity.

 While I am all for giving to charity, selling baking stuff just before dinner time is not ideal.  The nursery sell them right beside the main doors so there is no escape from your child catching sight of the culinary delights. I know Dolly will not eat her dinner should she have one.

One day she was really wanting a croissant and not taking it to well she couldn’t have one, the conversation went as follows;

Dolly:   “I want a croissant mama”

Me:     (thinking on my feet) “Oh no dolly these are mouldy croissants”

Dolly:  ” but that boy’s eating a mouldy croissant mama” (pointing to one of the many             children running around with croissant in hand)

Me:     “that boy will get a very sore tummy”

So now every week when it’s croissant day Dolly points and shouts telling the children they are eating mouldy croissants and they are going to get very sore tummies.

At some point time is going to catch up with me on this and I am going to have to do some very fast talking. So for now on bakery day I am going to let my husband unknowingly collect Dolly from nursery.

I don’t want to eat that …..

Why is it that Dolly a lot of the time always wants to eat the opposite of what I have cooked?

Just as I am approaching the dining table with her freshly prepared meal I am told             ”I want fish Mama”

Today Dolly is having fish disguised as chicken with fresh vegetables.  Not sure how much longer I am going to get away with this trick.
