On Friday, the whole fam-damily went to Round Table pizza for dinner. The tank engine was having a wonderful time playing but wasn't touching his food. Finally, in an effort to get him to eat, Mom picked up a bite of pizza and said, "Here's Thomas the Tank Engine, ready to come into Tidmouth Shed!" Henry thought that was fun, but didn't act in any way that suggested he was going to eat any thing or that he was the least bit interested in the pizza so finally Mom just ate the bite of pizza.
Henry was immediately distraught and began to cry, "Mom ate Thomas, I wanted to eat Thomas." Oops. [Mom and Dad exchange a glance that says, "There is no way of getting that specific bite of pizza back; this is gonna' get ugly."] Mom tried to calm him by picking up another bite, "I'm sorry, Henry. I already ate him. Here's Gordan, the express train." But Henry wanted Thomas. Finally, we were able to escape a major episode by naming a different bite, Thomas. That did the trick. Henry ate Thomas, Henry, Gordan, Emily, and James. Good dinner; let's get ice cream.
