Chicken Nugget Connoisseur

True story!

Savannah has an unreal addiction to chicken nuggets right now. I'm not even really talking about her need to eat them at least once a day. I'm talking about her need to talk about them all.the.time. Most of our conversations go something like this:

S: Where am I going today?

Me: You're going to Sophia's.

S: Will I be there for lunch?

Me: Yes.

S: Can I take my own lunch?

Me: If you want.

S: Can I have chicken nuggets?

Me: If you want.

S: Can I hold them?

Me: It would be better if you left them in the freezer.

S: But I can hold them if I want to, right?

Me: It would be better if you kept them in the freezer.

S: Can I hold them? Puh-leeeaaaaassssse?

Me: Leave them in the freezer please.

S: I want three, in a baggie.I will hold them.

Me: Later.

{5 minutes later}

S: Can I have three chicken nuggets in a bag now?

Me: Later, you don't want them to get yucky.

{5 minutes later}

S: Now can you put three chicken nuggets in a baggie for me?

Me: NO, stop asking.

{3 minutes later}

S: Is it time now, can you put three chickens in a bag for me to carry to Sophia's.

Me: If you promise to never say the word chicken nugget again, I will do whatever you want.

S: Yay! Can I have applesauce too? 

Yesterday morning we ran out of chicken nuggets; we only had two left. She was okay with that, but was quick to tell me I needed to stop at the store on my way home from work and get some more.

On my way home I stopped at Harris Teeter (shut up - don't judge!). The usual Tyson chicken nuggets (red bag) I buy are $4.99 at Wal-Mart; they were $8.99 at Harris Teeter. No deal, Mama ain't spending $9 on frozen chicken. Sorry baby. 

Instead I bought a yellow bag of semi-generic chicken nuggets. Miss Chicken pants saw me putting this yellow bag into the freeze yesterday. 

S: Mama, are those the same chickens?

Me: Uh... yes baby, just like the other ones.

S: Are you sure? 

Me: Yes, love.

S: That bag is not red.

Me: Oh, that's because they are a different shape, but I promise everything else is the same.

S: Have you tried them? 

Me: No baby.

S: You need to try them. They might not taste the same.

Me: I'm sure they do love. 

S: No, you really need to make sure they taste the same or you might have to go back to the store.

For the love of chicken nuggets...
