Nice Try. . . .

I made a veggie pizza today, and Peter didn't want to admit that he liked it, so that he would have to finish it, so he kept coming up with excuses to come out of his room. First it was the 'usual', "I need to go potty", then he turned up the heat by saying "I miss you Mommy and Daddy", then he worked his way up to a pitiful "I LOVE you Mommy. . .and I LOVE you Daddy!!"
It didn't work, but it was a good try!
