After I told him, "Look happy about your meal." Doesn't he look happy? |
Last night we watched Gulliver's Travels and had some candy and popcorn. This week he got to have ice cream and cake with us, which was more than what #1 had, so no, he couldn't have any. I told him he could buy candy on Monday night after his challenge is complete.
This was a funny admission. "My milk normally would have been gone by Thursday, but I had to go easy on it." He laughed because he knew he was admitting feeling like he could have as much milk as he wanted before. Tomorrow he will have a bowl of cereal, have lunch at school, and he'll be done!
I asked him, "What have you learned from this challenge?"
He said, "Budgeting is really hard. Hahahaha! Budgeting is really easy! Meat is really expensive." OK, he thinks it was medium hard, but I bet if he had to eat like this for a month, he would be really frustrated with the lack of variety. He also says, "Every week the sales change and the broccoli got really expensive."
#3 is still very sick, so we'll start his challenge as soon as he is feeling better. I might find an alternate experiment until then.
