Good Try Daddy, But Son Knows the Real Deal
My son knows the difference between a McNugget and a faux-nugget.
Several weeks ago I confessed my secret fast food life, and my son's excursions to McDonald's with me.
My husband is not a fan of fast food, so always the problem solver, he came up with the idea to make our son healthier, homemade chicken nuggets. Well, it failed. Not because the nuggets weren't yummy, they were. But there's no fooling our 2-year-old. He knew immediately they weren't the authentic "now made with all white meat kind." So, my husband and I ate the nuggets, which were good. I'm actually considering next time, putting the homemade nuggets in an old Happy Meal box and presenting them that way. Am I over-thinking this?
By the way, his favorite food is magic cheese. Yes, magic cheese. I was stumped until this week when I finally realized he was saying Mac n' Cheese.

Love this story. Sorry the real nuggets were not as tasty as the Golden Arches!
