Parental cons

Xander's mac and cheese always has vegetables in it.  So do his grilled cheese sandwiches.  He happliy eats them, unaware of how I have altered a time honored kiddie food.  He has been watching his daddy drink Mountain Dew from a can for awhile now, and he finally started demanding to hold the can.  We filled an empty can with water, and he happily sips from it, going "aaah" when he finishes, just like his daddy.  It's really stinkin' cute.  We're wondering how long we can lead him along like this, convincing him that water is soda and all food has vegetables in it.  One day, he's going to go to a friend's house and realize that his parents have been conning him all these years.
