Our Best Option

Tomatoes with salt
It is how he was raised
Tomatoes with sugar
It is how I was raised

Mushrooms and oysters yum yum he says
Mushrooms and oysters.  Barf barf say I.
Thick crust pizza for him, thin crust for me.
It is a wonder our children can eat at all.

One loves The Red Lobster. Her sister will not eat fish.
Two love Chinese food, the other one despises it.
None of them like tomatoes at all.  
Eating out is our best option.

Our family is like that, though choosing where to eat is sometimes a bit sticky. Well penned.
