My little man loves to eat anything crunchy and crispy. So he always asks our helper to cook him fried stuff. And indulge him she did. She cooked fried fish, fried chicken, fried beef, fried vegetables. Anything she fried to keep him happy so he'll eat with gusto and finish his food faster than he usually does. So much so that we told Roo that if he keeps eating fried food like that he'll eventually get heart disease. He shrugged that off and insisted that he loves to eat fried. Period.
Well, one day, out of the blue, while the helper was frying food again, he announced, "No more fried stuff, okay, auntie?" The helper nodded okay but didn't think that he was serious. So the next meal, while she was preparing to fry yet again, the little boy suddenly burst out crying. Not just any quiet sobbing. Before I knew it, he was bawling and shouting, "I told you no more fried stuff, auntie! I don't want to get heart disease!" He came running to me and cried his heart out, telling me what his auntie was about to do again. Mommy, auntie T is cooking fried fish again. I'm really going to get heart disease from all the fried food! While I consoled the little boy, our helper hurriedly changed the menu and when the little boy noticed that she didn't continue on with the frying, he dried his tears, smiled, and resumed his play.
Then yesterday, apparently missing his favorite food, he quipped, "Auntie T, it's okay to fry once in a while. Just once in a while, okay?"

ohhh cuteness!!! Oo nga naman...just once in a while hehehehe
too much of a good thing is bad, Little Roo!
Anne, hi! I never thought he'd be serious about it but he hasn't asked for any fried food since he said that. heart disease must sound really scary to my little Roo, considering he's okay with not eating his yummy, crunchy food as often anymore.
