My oldest has been in one of those moods the past few days where NOTHING pleases her or makes her happy.
Well, yesterday I'd finally had enough and decided if she was going to whine and complain all day that I would give her something to whine and complain about. I gave her the task of cleaning out the fridge.
She cleaned it out alright! There is nothing left in there except 1/2 a carton of rice milk, a few potatoes, and some celery.
She threw away:
1/2 a jar of chopped garlic - there was NOTHING wrong with it
2 containers of tofu - again, NOTHING wrong with it, they were to make dinner last night
1 container of vanilla almond milk - I got one glass out of it
the bowl of chopped fruit I prepared yesterday morning so I wouldn't have to do it this morning
1/2 pack of veggie dogs
I don't think she threw any of it away on purpose or to be spiteful. When I asked her about she started to cry and that isn't like her when she's done something on purpose.
It's impossible to be mad at her when she looked at me through her tears and said, "But you just told me I'd better not throw away any of your BOWLS!"
All the stores around here are closed today. Guess I will be grocery shopping first thing in the morning.
