Advice for Finicky Eaters #1LinerWeds

Posted on November 21, 2018 by Marian Allen

Here’s another one-liner drawn from the And Yet He Lives files.

One of the kids was complaining about something I had cooked. Charlie, in an attempt to be encouraging, took a bite and said,

Everything doesn’t have to taste good for you to eat it.

And yet he lives.

This post is part of Linda G. Hill’s weekly blog hop, One-Liner Wednesday. If you have a one-liner or just like them, follow the link.

I’m posting today at The Write Type about editing the new Pimchan story and about Cixin Liu’s The Three Body Problem Trilogy.

A WRITING PROMPT FROM ME TO YOU: Write about encouraging words that come out wrong.

  I’m sure he did, too. We’ve certainly enjoyed quoting him over the years. 🙂
