Jason vs. Avocado

Jason...looses!
(for those of you keeping score, this makes Jason 3, Foodstuffs 1 - I may or may not have mentioned the...B-A-N-A-N-A-S...that have become a staple in our house as of late)

I mashed it up nicely, tasted it myself even. Resisted the urge to add cilantro, lime juice and other enhancements. But no good. Here's how it went down"

Jason quietly looks at the green stuff on the spoon, with what can best be described a curiosity. Open mouth, insert food. He looks off as if contemplating deeply. Opens his mouth, and lets the food fall out.

We repeat the above, the 2nd time, he lets it roll around in his mouth for a few seconds, even going so far as to insert a finger to help (with the eating, the flavor? who knows), but out it comes again. No "ick" face. No face at all. Just a look that says "mom, this isn't food. it doesn't taste bad, but I am NOT going to eat it. Period."

After we repeated this half a dozen times, I relented. Fine Jason. You can have sweet potatoes.

Oh well. Perhaps peas will be next. That can't go poorly, right? right?
