Let's play a guessing game!!!!!!!

Why did this plate of Macaroni and Cheese, which I made tonight for dinner, make Child 1 gag?

Because it's orange instead of white
Because he was forced to eat it at the kitchen table with a fork, rather than in his room with his hands
Because there are two different kinds of pasta
Because it doesn't have enough milk mixed in with the cheese.

Go ahead and guess! Maybe the winner will get a prize :)

EDIT: While technically "all of the above" could be a correct answer on any given night, tonight there was only one specific reason.

I'm reading this as I'm proctoring a final with a grumbly stomach - THAT LOOKS DEEEELICIOUS!!!!!!!!! Gluten-free be damned. I want fucking macaroni and cheese. A whole box to myself.

Also, I vote 3.

Hmmmm...my kids wouldn't touch it because of #1 and #3...it's a toss up...Since so many have said #3 I'm going with #1. Only because in our house color change is worse than things co-mingling. As I found out with white tuna fish versus light tuna fish.

Anyone of those things would make my son explode. So I have to applaud your bravery for using all of the triggers. Talk about tempting fate.

Obviously it's 3. And he is right, I am slightly OCD and that looks like entrails with cheese to me. Because of the 2 different kinds of pasta. I could eat it, because I am an adult, but I wouldn't like it..... because the pasta doesn't match.

G.'s Mom · 650 weeks ago

I'm guessing #3. We are a one-pasta-shape family, and that shape is spaghetti. If I tried sticking another shape in there we would probably have lots of gagging and a 30 minute meltdown. And what's worse, we could never have noodles again.

I'm going to go with process of elimination here. I'd say it's 2, but I find it very unlikely that you would let Child 1 eat in his room, because I KNOW you wouldn't let Child 2 do it. So, #2 is out. #3 is just too obvious; in fact, it's so obvious, I don't think you even would've served it to him that way if you didn't know he'd eat it. That leaves #1 and #4. #4 is tempting, because you clearly mixed 2 different boxes together, so there's a good chance of recipe mismanagement. (*ahem*) However, #1 is equally tempting, because you probably usually feed him Annie's mac 'n cheese or something close to it, and it is indeed white and not florescent orange. So, the question is: did you fuck up the recipe or was Trader Joe's out of Annie's. When I pick #1, please remember how much I adore you.

I'm guessing that there was a dust bunny in the far corner of the garage where real bunnies will not ever go, that he saw during the 2.5 seconds it took to drive into the garage, and go from car to house. No? Really? Seriously? Oh wait, that was at my house. LOL

Seriously, since you admitted to the two different pastas and lack of milk in the cheese, I'm going for the lack of milk making it non-slippery. But maybe it was because you were also out of ketchup (not just milk) and that could have saved the situation? LMAO ;-)

I'd gag on it if there was not enough milk so I have to guess #4.

1: mac and cheese is suppose to be orange, because cheese is orange. it would be wrong if it was white.
2: you have to eat at the table with utensils, because thats the *right* way to eat, not with your hands
4: macaroni and cheese doesnt have milk in it, its only macaroni, and cheese.

so there can be only one right answer! its #3. and i totally agree. its just not right.

Lizbeth · 650 weeks ago

So, I'm confused....is the reason stated above or is it something else entirely? Because in our house those noodles are way over cooked. We only eat ones that are 95% uncooked. No more, no less.

that's all I wanted to say. I will go with #3 because mixing pasta shapes would be cause for discussion (aka tantrums and tears) in my household.
