I am not sure about you and your kids, but every time we go to the grocery store, we have to walk by the lobster / crab tank to say “hi”.
So when my parents recently came back from a vacation to the Maritimes, and brought us a lobster I was not too sure how the kids would react to eating it.
I pulled both kids into the kitchen to show them the lobster – they were thrilled and excited (it was already dead).
They both wanted to touch him, Anderson was saying “he’s so cute, he’s so cute”; Jackie was thrilled to be shown how his claws worked.
As he was sitting on a cutting board, Jackie started playing with him; Anderson then pulls up and starts talking to him – “Hi lobster...”
So I tell them that we are going to put him in water, cook him and eat him (I really don’t want tears when we crack him apart) Jackie says: “I WANT TO EAT HIS FACE!!”
Okay, I have to admit, I was a little shocked at that response, no tears, just an overly eager child to eat a lobster face. She followed it up with telling us she wants to eat his eyes. Really? Who is this kid?

we have to wave at all the seafood too, while lyla informs the fish person how stinky his corner is.
she's so blunt.
love that face-eating reaction!! did they end up enjoying it? did she really eat the eyes??:)
No Kim, we did not let her eat the face or eyes, but she sure did enjoy everything else.
