Chips and Lemons

I try and be careful how I help The Bear and The Bird to understand that MamaBee doesn't eat gluten.

Sometimes I get technical with The Bear and explain it is not good for my body because of x, y, and z... while still letting him know that he can eat it without consequence.  

Also, I pretend to eat a gluten-ous cookie offered by The Bird in hopes of not hurting her feelings and share in the sweet gesture of sharing.

Today, The Bear and I were enjoying some peace and quiet after The Bird went down for her nap.  We made lemon tea and ate cookies.  He offered me some of his cookie and I said I would stick with my gluten-free version.

"Oh, yea, mama, you can only eat chips and lemons."

Yikes.  Time to revamp the diet.
