Can't take him anywhere

A friend and I have a standing play date on Thursday afternoons. When the weather is nice we go to the park and when it is yuck we go to the local pizza shop for lunch. The weather today (and the last week) has been crap so I packed the kids off for the pizza shop. The pizza shop arrangement works well. My kids trade their cheese to her kids in exchange for their crusts. Everyone is happy. Except for today. When the waitress came to take our orders, everyone (except the adults) said they wanted a slice of pizza. Everyone but wee one. "Salad" he demanded. The waitress looked at me skeptically, but I shrugged "Give him what he wants, and bring a slice so Dani (my friend's kid) can have the cheese". I was convinced wee one would never eat a salad. I mean, my kids eat veggies of all varieties, but salad is always a tough sell. Well slap me silly and call me monkey because he devoured the whole salad. Radishes and all. I was gobsmacked.
Meanwhile Dani was beside himself because he didn't think the trade was fair since wee one didn't actually eat the crust. But that is another three ring circus discussion for another day.
