Yummy Broccoli/Salesmanship at Dinner time
| I've discovered a way to get my kids to eat just about anything I give them at the moment. You see they are at the age where they will believe anything you tell them because you are an adult.
Parents and Teachers alike have been taking advantage of this for centuries, getting in while they can before the kids grow up and realise that they've been spun a whole boat load of crap for so long and they don't have to take it any more. So when I'm asked "what's for dinner?", my answer is always prefixed with the work "yummy". For example; "Daaaaad, what are we having for dinner?" "Yummy chicken and yummy rice" "Yeah yummy!" |

This also works for things that may not traditionally be as yummy. "Daaaaad, what are we having for dinner?"
"Yummy broccoli and yummy potatoes with yummy chops"
"Yeah yummy!"
What's really interesting is that I heard John Howard will be using this very same tactic to help get his IR Reforms through the Senate.
"Oh Barneby... I've got some very yummy IR legislation for you..."
