"It's not fair!"

So, she cooked her wonderful chicken, mushroom and rice casserole. I ate a veggie southwest burger and broccoli.

My 5-year old daughter complained: "That's not fair! How come you get to eat what you want, and we all have to eat the same?"

I wanted to tell her "Oh, my dear child. What I want is what you are eating!" But instead I went into a rather convoluted explanation about how I was eating special food so I could get healthier. I quickly realized she was not interested and was busy digging into her rice.
