trying new things

"It's good to try new things, Mom", my favorite 3 year old says as she hands me a carrot dipped in red pasta sauce. She is cleverly responding to my, "No thanks" and the grimace I most assuredly made at the first mention of this odd pairing.
"You know I don't like milk, Mom", she continues. Then with barely a pause, "Could I please have some milk?" She's good. I happen to know that she loves milk. But, I don't let on.
She drinks her milk and I happily munch on the carrot dipped in marinara. Not bad. Not good, but not bad.
