We went out for sushi therapy tonight.

How can someone who weighs less than 30 pounds eat 10 big pieces of nigiri?

The same small person who once pointed to her father's plate in the sushi restaurant in Montreal and said winningly "Papa, you don't really need three of those, do you?"

Because she is a person of intelligence and taste. Also, you were careless a good parent careless and didn't tell her it was for grownups.

"sushi therapy" ... oh, yes!

One piece at a time, three or four bites per piece. Possibly growing a quarter-inch (either up or out) every two or three pieces.

(Seriously? I have no idea.)

Cheerfully?

She has a stomach linked to L-space! Somewhere, a librarian is being surprised by the arrival of a plate of sushi in front of a bookshelf.

"With style and panache, Mama. With style and panache!" :)

It's the only possible answer, right? Because a comparable weight-to-sushi ratio would be me eating more than 50 pieces.

Heh. Believe me, we've learned our lesson about trying to draw distinctions between parent sushi and child sushi. Tonight she poached a piece of my octopus, even though we'd ordered her quite a spread of her usual favorites.

I think at New Year's we were still refraining from giving her raw fish. Now we're just doing our best to hold out against fish with significantly neurotoxic levels of mercury, although she manages to wrangle the occasional piece of yellowtail out of Michael. (I don't eat it for the same reason Alex doesn't.)

Growth Spurt.

K ate a huge piece of ren faire pizza, half of her dad's earlier snack, plus an ice cream cone as big as her head.

Within two days, she grew another half inch.

d'oh.

We told Molly that sushi was for grownups and she wouldn't like it. That merely excited her suspicions.

BOTH my kids adore sushi. They are four (almost five) and seven (almost eight) and they would eat it every night if I were willing to buy it for them.

Kiera eats like this some days. I really do not know where she puts it all after it vanishes down her gullet.

And she looooooooooooves sushi.

Yeah, Alex whines for sushi all the time. "I don't want you to make dinner, I want to go to a sushi restaurant!!" Thank heavens there's a new place in our neighborhood that has dollar-a-piece sushi on weeknights.

I served scallops for the first time in forever, last week, and laughed to hear Michael coaxing Alex: "This is actually a kind of sushi, so you'll probably like it..." She usually refuses to eat cooked fish, though, except for shrimp and now scallops.

Small people need calories to turn into big people.

Small people of good breeding and taste need calories that taste good to turn into big people of good breeding and taste.

If all our stomachs were linked to L-space--just imagine! Or maybe not. The ability to enjoy limitless cinnamon rolls and Pringles would be a plus, but my resulting grocery bills would not.

I was thinking the very same thing.

If felines were to sniff around, they might find that one or both legs were hollow (and are now sushi-filled). However, due to radiation concerns, most parents don't want their kids cat-scanned.

My guess is that she doesn't stop moving much.

Cause I swear all toddlers have a second (or third) stomach hidden somewhere to store food for days when they refuse to eat!

it's a trick question!

She can't. She only weighs less than 30 lbs before she eats the sushi.
