In an amazing turn of events, some thought impossible after green beans' poor reception- to put it lightly- in the winter, Mimi's green beans dealt Papa's mashed potatoes a stunning defeat during Thursday night's dinner.
As the Katie sat captive in front of her parents, bits of meatloaf, and mashed potatoes scattered on her high chair tray, Eric and MaryAnn watched in amazement as, after numerous bites before it, the soon-to-be one year-old squished the mashed potatoes out of her mouth.
"Wow..." said her mother, later adding that the potatoes' rejection was even more surprising given the delicious butter and salt Eric so lovingly added.
Simmered with generous amounts of beef bouillon and bacon grease, experts long suspected green beans might cut into mashed potatoes' lead, which was generated while eating tater tots at what seemed like each and every Sonic on the numerous treks to Oklahoma. Despite a fervent rejection of green beans in early January or February, the Katie slowly began to eat green beans cooked the way her Mimi does it- and, this reporter might add, her mother's favorite way, as well.
"Baba da didi," said the unimpressed, rather serious Katie as she sipped on her cup of whole milk. And then, "Aaaaeeeee!"
