Parallel Universe

At dinner tonight, it occurred to me that something was wrong. And it was this: I was using broccoli to try and encourage the little chick to eat her pizza.

Yes, as in "I want you to eat this bit of pizza, and then I will give you more broccoli."

I think it was probably the ranch dressing. I guess if I would have just put that on the pizza I wouldn't have had any trouble at all....

There must be a word for parents who use brocolli to bribe their children to eat other foods... I'm not sure how our family has come to this, but it seems to be a family-wide problem. Any suggestions to help this troubled family? What ever happened to honey or candy or desserts for bribes?

I wasn't aware that I had relatives who also needed to be bribed with broccoli. Maybe my therapist was right.
