Do I Have to Eat This?

During our snack today, we were given apple rings and orange slices. The kids were eating away, when Zachary taps me on the shoulder and says, "I really don't like this part..." pointing to the peel on the outside of the orange. "Well of course you don't like that part! You're not supposed to eat that!" I replied. "Well...do I HAVE to eat this?" he asked. He looked so cute and sad when he asked it. "No, you don't have to eat the outside. Just eat the part in the middle." So then I had to make the announcement to everybody that "we don't eat the outside of the orange, just the inside."

After the announcement was made, I then had to take the peels off of about 50 orange slices :)
