Janie did not like green food. When her mother placed Janie’s toast in front of her, then, she stared at the green slices in consternation.
“What’s this?”
“Breakfast, Honey.” Mom smiled and ate a bite of her own.
“It’s green.”
“Mmm. Yes.”
“It’s green mush.”
“Mmm. Yes.”
Mom wasn’t going to helpful. Janie pushed her fork against the offensive topping. It smooshed and slimed into the tines, leaving green behind it on the bread. “Ew!” she cried. “I’m having normal toast!”
“Suit yourself,” Mom said. While Janie was at the toaster, Mom reached across and ate her daughter’s serving.

Yep, a Mom’s gotta eat what they leave behind! Green seems to be a hard color for children’s tastes.
