Tailoring to your audience

Samuel doesn't like cheese. He avoids eating anything he thinks might have cheese in it. Benjamin, on the other hand, eats more food with cheese on it. One night last week, we had a cheesy broccoli side dish at dinner.

"Hey Benjamin," said Dominic as he set the table, "this broccoli has a cheesy sauce."

"Yay!" said Benjamin.

Then Dominic turned to Samuel. "Hey Samuel, the broccoli has a special sauce. You'll love it." Samuel just looked at him skeptically.

  1. Caleb doesn't like cheese either. He keeps telling people he is allergic to it. I suppose it's a good way to ensure he doesn't have to eat it. But I hate that he's crying wolf.

  2. I tell Samuel that he still has to eat one bite before he says he hates it. He's pretty good about it. Benjamin and Lisy still decide they hate something before they try it, though.
