Sometimes you just can't reason with a kid... the above reminds me of an
experience with a niece of mine about 30 years ago. She was not real keen
with hot dogs at the time. We thought she had at least tried out a bite of
the hot dog. After dinner we went for a ride in the car. When we got to our
destination about 1/2 hour later, we noticed she had something in her mouth.
What was it?... that one bite of hot dog she took. It was so absolutely
horrible to her that she would not swallow it... but she was willing to keep
it in her mouth all that time!You would think she would have just swallowed
it to get rid of the taste in her mouth.
