This is funny! It reminds me of a pact my daughter and I made one New Years.

At the beginning of each year, she and I make a list of the things we want to

accomplish that year - I always put things on there like, "clean up my office",

and she always puts things on there like, "go to Disneyland"! We end up with

about 10 - 12 items, some bigger, some smaller. (Before we create our new list,

we review our previous list and see how many we achieved. Usually it's most of

them!) Anyway, at the beginning of last year, one of the things we put on the

list was to "Try new foods". I'm the one who suggested that, obviously, and I

told Megan that I wanted to expand the variety of foods that I ate and try new

and interesting things. I asked if she was willing to do this with me, and she

said yes! So we made a pact that we would try something new each month and

really, truly taste it and see if we liked it. Not just the "it smells bad and the

one molecule I tasted is icky, so no way!", but a real true bite, chew, chew,

chew, swallow, before deciding if we liked it or not. When we did this, we would

pick something out at the store together and I'd tell her when I was making it for

dinner that night. It was very fun! I can still invoke this when I want to get her to

try something. "Megan, remember our pact? Let's try this!" And she does! Doesn't

mean she always likes it, though!!!
