Kase was invited to eat dinner at his good friends' house and when he came home I asked "what did you have for dinner?" he said "we had oatmeal mom, but the fake kind...not the real kind like you make us."
ha! How cute is that.....guess what kind I make? The instant Fruit Flavored oatmeal...just add water and zap for 1 min 45 sec....and it turns out that his friend's family made homemade oatmeal...the real stuff.....my poor child doesn't know what real oatmeal is....but I do have to say I was flattered when he said he likes the way I make it! :) I know, if you think it's bad my kids eat fruit flavored instant oatmeal, there are lots worse things they could be eating...and it keeps them full longer than anything else I can make.....had to share this funny story....gotta love Kase!

That's really funny! When my brother was little, he said the same thing about liking the "real potatoes" my parents made - only they made instant potatoes! And oatmeal for dinner? I guess it's easy enough! (Never thought to have it except for breakfast or a snack! :)
We all have our own yardstick...
Our family also had the potato thing (like Melanie). I felt guilty making instant mashed potatoes when my kids were little and time was at a premium. Occasionally when I made the real ones they complained and it turned out "real" to them was instant. Each generation defines itself. Aubrey has learned to cook while being out in Kansas on her own (they were never interested in learning at home) and she commented that she never realized cooking from scratch was actually "easy" and tastes better. She calls me sometimes to ask how to cook something and is surprised at what is possible - even when ingredients are limited due to budget constraints - hey, it's cheaper too. My grandkids also like oatmeal for dinner. It's easy and there are worse things they could choose, as you say.
ROFL!! That sounds like what my boys would do too.
That is hilarious. You must be an excellent cook!!! I love oatmeal... ESPECIALLY the fruit flavored kind. It's much better for you than most breakfast foods anyway, like the sugar loaded cereals. Anyway, I am sad that you aren't my charge 14 anymore:(
That is Owen's favorite breakfast! So easy to make.. love it!
LOL!!! That cracked me up! And for the record I absolutely LOVE the instant fruity oatmeals...so do my boys...
