Why can't we just eat donuts and spaghettios everyday?

I think most of you know that Maddie has been on a hunger strike at dinner time. She refuses to eat anything. In fact, she is so stubborn, that when given the choice to either eat her dinner, or go up to her room, she chooses to go to her room. Go figure.

Tonight after refusing her dinner, we sent her to her room. She was there for about 20 minutes. We then had her come downstairs and we had a little chat with her. The conversation went like this:

"Maddie - do you know why you were sent to your room?"

"Yes. I was bold."

"How were you bold?"

"I didn't eat my dinner."

"How come?"

"Because I don't like stuff."

"Well - what would you prefer to eat?"

"Mac and cheese, cheetos, spaghettios, and donuts."

The conversation went on with Brian and I explaining why we can't eat mac and cheese, cheetos, spaghettios and donuts everyday. Her response was this: "Well, I don't like chicken, beef or fish. I don't like veggies. I just want spaghettios."

MMMM. This is a tough one folks. She is stubborn - just like her mommy and daddy!
