Dear LT and The Tyke,
Allow me to take a moment to apologize for the atrocious meals I have been spending so much time preparing for you. I am aware of what a huge disappointment it can be when I get up extra early on the weekends (after working all week) in order to make you both a special breakfast from scratch. I should have realized that the honey whole wheat pancakes with honey butter, even when slathered in syrup and whipped cream, would still be inedible because there's no bacon, or I am forcing you to eat all of your blueberries or...ahem...you "like your mom's recipe better".
I promise that next time I make waffle batter, I will check to see if you want the strawberries IN the batter or just on top of the waffles. Or both. I am saddened that my earnest efforts to always include fruits and vegetables in every meal has caused such inconvenience for you both.
LT, I can't believe I didn't realize you are "not a casserole man". I will be sure to make you a separate meal next time. I also really do appreciate you for not waiting until the end of a meal to tell me it's not your favorite. It's important for me to know that early on so I can be sure not to enjoy the rest of my dinner.
Tyke, I understand that it's totally unreasonable for me to require that you finish ALL of your carrots if you want dessert. In the future, I will gladly negotiate with you when you tell me you'll just have 1 more carrot and be done.
I am truly sorry that I have not gotten my act together yet. Please accept my heartfelt apology along with an assurance that I will be a much better short order cook, waitress, dishwasher, mind reader, and all-around pushover in the future.
Thank you again for your tolerance and understanding,
Mel

Don't you just want to scream sometimes?!
I laughed and cringed at the same time. Sharing cooking duties might be just what the doctor ordered....
I worship you and your wit. That is all.
You know I love you girl, and the amazing meals that you slave over. Beautiful!
