My host mother's granddaughter is the pickiest eater I have ever seen. The child doesn't like anything. Sitting down to dinner every night, there is an atmosphere of tension. Is she going to eat tonight? When will the dietary tug of war begin?
Last night, hier soir if you will, my host mother brings out a package of shrimp. Not only are these shrimp, these are shrimp that look like they have just come out of the ocean. Eyes still attached and antennas still waving (they are huge). I like shrimp but I have to admit I wasn't particularly excited to eat them.
Lea liked them. It was obvious that this was a special treat just for her because no one else ate the shrimp. Just when I think I have things figured out, things take a 180. I told my host mom that I thought that it was funny that Lea like shrimp because it is something most kids (or at least in my family) wouldn't eat. Especially when their little beady eyes are staring you down. My host mom thought this was very strange that children wouldn't eat shrimp. However I think it's weird that Lea doesn't want to eat pizza.
