told ya so

Brianna was sitting on the counter next to me while I was preparing dinner (Asian lettuce wraps - PF Chang imitation attempt). I pulled out the purple onions to chop and Brianna started begging: "APPUL! APPUL! Peeez! Ahnt some! Cut eht! APPUL mommy! Peeeez!" In between each plea I tried to explain that this was NOT an apple it was an ONION, and would taste yucky. But Brianna couldn't be swayed. I prefer not to call her a stubborn child - she's steadfast and determined. Finally I figured there was no other way to teach her; I cut a slice of onion and gave it to her. She bit right into it. Two seconds later she was howling and spitting it out.
