Them Bones

Sam likes skeletons. In an effort to get him to eat healthy food, we often talk about what food skeletons would like. Skeletons love milk and cheese. They don't like candy and chips. To drive home the point during last night's dinner, I staged an impromptu play between my index fingers - one as a skeleton who ate good food, had lots of energy, slept well and didn't hurt his bones when he fell. The other skeleton ate bad food, was often tired and cranky and hurt himself a lot. Just as Sam was getting into my dramatic play, I excused myself to get another helping of pizza and liquor.
