really, what did i expect?

E came home from church today (where she has the fortune of being taught by the teacher of her dreams) with a question to share with the family. 

This is the question:
Your mother worked all afternoon to fix dinner for your family.  You don't think it looks good or smells good and you start to complain about it before you even try it.  What question should you ask yourself?  What would Jesus want you to do?

We went around the bed (Buck was feeling sick today so we had family prayer in bed tonight ) taking turns answering the questions. When it got to be J's turn he didn't understand the question, so I simplified it with: "J, if mommy makes dinner and you think it looks yucky what should you say?"

J looks me in the face and announces, "YUCKY!"

Really,  what other answer could there possibly be for a three-year-old.
