Indeed... it has come to this...

My children are eating Hot Dogs for Dinner...
.
.
Yes... you heard that right... HOT DOGS!
.
.
Kade even loaded up "duel-ies".
2... yes, TWO... and he'd have had 3 if I'd let him!
.
.

To understand the true magnitude of this moment
you must first understand my true and utter disdain for Hot Dogs...
Weiners, Franks, Hot "Dogs"...
people should not consume things with these names!
.
I have not eaten one since the 8th grade
when Dwayne Aragon told me what was in them
after having worked at a slaughter house over the summer.
.
Admittedly, I did have a momentary lapse of insanity
(I was pregnant with Kade, what can I say?)
when I thought I absolutely had to have one
because the aroma from that little kiosk was seducing me...
But, alas, I did not actually EAT it...
I gagged it out before I actually swallowed the first bite!
(Poor Matt ate the rest,
shaking his head the entire time
at the fickle appetite of pregnancy...)
.
.
Perhaps only my parents will remember my history with Hot Dogs...
How I swore I would never feed them to my own children...
How I would never corrupt their perfect, pure little bodies
with such a vile, disgusting excuse for food,
just for the sake of ease, convenience and filling up their tummies.
.


.
Oh, no... not MY children! NEVER!
And yet somehow... somehow, we have arrived!
.

.

In my defense, Matt bought them... (I guess they were on "Sale"!)

and the boys do LOVE them... (and probably love teasing me about them just as much!)

.

...and hey, I ate TOAST for Dinner!

My kids love hot dogs, and admittedly so do I on occasion! I just have to pretend I don't know what's in them! :)

I hate to admit that I like a good dog about once a year. I just refuse to think about what's in them!

I used to hate hot dogs as well, but have grown to love them...well, once in a great while! :)

You are cracking me up! What a fun post. I too despise hot dogs and don't buy them for my kids...unless we are going camping. For some reason if they are cooked over a camp fire they seem less revolting. Go figure.
