The Secret is Out

Today D1 was out of town and Ben and I were flying solo. As a bit of background, Ben seems to be doing very well at his new school - it has done wonders for his flexibility with food - he is much more open to new foods than he used to be. BUT I still haven't figured out what time he eats lunch because when I pick him up at 4:45 or so, he is just FAMISHED. I mean, it is a "Do Not Pass Go" situation until he gets some food. So today during his starvation hour, I decided to go through McDonalds (yes I know and I just don't care about the issues that surround feeding my child McDonalds). Anyway, I ordered a chicken nugget happy meal for Ben and a cheeseburger happy meal for myself (again, don't care). So....I ate most of my cheeseburger and Ben was eating his nuggets when..... I decided to give him the last bite of my cheeseburger....OH MY! Who knew? Ben was so delighted with the cheeseburger that when he realized that it was gone he went into a full out RAGE. He even threw a nugget at me! He was in such a state (and luckily we were doing our fine dining in the parking lot of the McDonalds) that I had to start the car and go back through the drive thru again and get a cheeseburger for Ben (actually I got two for fear of his wrath). Do you think he liked it?????
