Being Tested

My son comes to me asking whats for dinner. I told him to look and see what's there and then tell me what he wants. After looking he decides on spaghetti. He puts the water on to boil. So I put the pasta in the pot to cook. I'm stirring the pasta so it doesn't stick and I pick some out and put in a bowl to taste to see if it's ready. As I lift it to my lips to taste it, I hear myself say "you can't eat that, no pasta remember?". I had to laugh at myself. If I had eaten those 4 or 5 spaghetti noodles I would have wanted a whole plate. After laughing, I gave myself a pat on the back and said good job. I didn't give in to the temptation. I called my son to taste the noodles. Test #1 passed. It's only going to get more difficult but I am ready. I made a chicken filet and corn for dinner for myself. Yay me.
