Mica's a Punk!

I generally make a smoothie about 5 mornings a week. They are loaded with spinach, or kale, frozen bananas, and another fruit. I add in ground up pumpkin seeds, peanut butter powder, or vanilla protein powder. There's water, or almond milk in there to.

I make smoothies because: 

A) The boys need more nutrients. Especially considering that school thinks a potato is a vegetable. A potato is a starchy carb.

B) I know we don't in general get enough greens. No one gets enough greens. They are oh so good for you.

You really don't taste them with all the other stuff added. It takes on a peach, cherry, or banana flavor over a green flavor.

I admit some smoothies are better than others. I sometimes try different things. In general I got the smoothie making down. 

Mica generally puts them on the table after I've made them. He checks them out to see who has the fullest glass, and gives that to Dad, then I come in the mix, then he, and last, but not least Isaak gets his.

I never really thought too much about his process. I just went with it. He's helping, that's all that mattered, so I thought. Really the adults are always about the same amount, and the kids are about the same amount. It doesn't really matter who got what.

This morning Daddy said, "Mica gives himself more if he likes the smoothie. If he doesn't like it, he gives Isaak the one that has more. I have our son figured out. That child thinks of himself first." 

I said, "Mica is that true?"

Mica laughed and said, "Ya."

Then we all started laughing. Isaak stood there with a big ? look on his face as if to say, "What are you laughing about?"

Proof that Mica thinks of himself first, and foremost.
