Last night, as we were getting ready for bed, my 4-year-old bounces up onto her bed and says "Momma, when I grow up I'm gonna be just like you! But I'm still not gonna like broccoli." It caught me off guard, especially since we hadn't had broccoli that night. I laughed, hugged her, teared up a bit, and told her that broccoli was good for her, to which she replied "it still tastes yucky." I'm humbled that me daughter wants to be like me and I also think even my picky-eating preschooler will in time come around to appreciate the finer points of green vegetables, but if she doesn't, I think I can live with that.

But, Broccoli is Good for You!
