I don’t know, maybe the kids were misbehaving or something. Because radishes are kind of like punishment for a kid, not a fun vegetable to try together. Maybe I was thinking that I’d find out that all of my kids really like spicy food and I could start making them blazing hot Thai curries for dinner rather than the plainer meals I tend to make. However, it did end up being one of our more engaging mystery food challenges, until it wrapped up quickly at the end.
ME: “What does it look like?”
LAUREN: “I think it looks like…”
SAM: “A tomato.”
LAUREN: “A little tomato.”
SAM: “It looks like a small and smaller potato.”
ME: “What does it feel like?”
LAUREN: “Well it’s kind of smooth.”
ME: “What do you think like Sam?”
SAM: “Ya ya ya ya.”
ME: “Emma, what do you think?”
EMMA: “Mooth (smooth).”
ME: “What does it smell like?”
SAM: “Yuck.”
LAUREN: “I think it smells a little bit like apples.”
ME: “Cool. Do you want me to cut into it so that I can show you the inside?”
LAUREN: “Not mine.”
ME: “What color do you think it’s going to be on the inside?”
LAUREN: “I think it’s going to be pink. Because it looks really pinkish.”
ME: “What color do you think it’s going to be on the inside Sam?”
SAM: “Bee bee bee bee. Blue!”
ME: “Baby blue?”
LAUREN: “Well, I think it’s going to be reddish pink.”
ME: “What color do you think it’s going to be on the inside Emma?”
EMMA: “Cut it!”
ME: “OK, here I’m going to cut it right down the center, TADA!”
LAUREN: (GASP) “White!”
ME: “White! Are you guys surprised?”
LAUREN: “Yeah!”
ME: “Now smell it.”
LAUREN: “Now it really smells like apples. Sweet apples.”
SAM: “Can you cut mine?”
LAUREN: “Me too!”
ME: “Sam’s is actually a little pinky on the inside.”
ME: “Emma don’t eat the green part on the end!”
What do you think it tastes like Emma?”
EMMA: “Water.”
ME: “I’m going to try mine too because it looks so delicious.”
ME: “What does it taste like Lauren?”
LAUREN: “Well, kind of yummy, but a little spicy.”
EMMA: “Picy (Spicy).”
SAM: “I hate radishes.”
LAUREN: “Ok, I give it back.” (starts to fake hyperventilate)
