Chocolate Strawberries

Most of my female friends I have known love strawberries. Their shape is so cute, taste so juicy and their red color are invited us to eat them soon. Not many men I have known like to eat strawberries. Lots of them think that they are fruit for female.

But why does my son, Attar, LOVE to eat them, on the other hand my daughter, Puan, HATE them? He is so crazy about strawberries. He likes fresh strawberries (once he ever had eaten 3 packs strawberries a day!), strawberry juice, strawberry-flavored ice creams, jars, yogurts and milkshakes; even his shampoo, soap, toothpaste smell STRAWBERRIES. My husband said it was because I "desired" wrong fruit for the wrong child when I expected Attar. Yep, when I expected Attar, he must bring McDonald strawberry sundae after working every day. I was upset if he did not bring it home. It is so funny if we remember those time.

Another fact that you should know is Puan likes chocolates so much, and Attar hates them. For your information, I didn't "desire" anything when I expected Puan. Thanks to God. In fact, it was hard for me to eat anything at the time since I keep throwing up. So now, Puan can eat food that contained chocolate ingredients by herself since her brother will not ask her to share it with him and so can Attar with his strawberries. Lucky us. We will not deal with brother and sister's fighting over a chocolate cake or a strawberry sundae since they have their own path.

You know, strawberries are for our body. They are excellent source of vitamin C. Maybe I should start to persuade Puan to dip strawberries in melted chocolate. I think that is the healthier way to enjoy chocolate. An idea to enjoy Monday afternoon in my yellow kitchen with my family.
