Captain Vegetable

While laying beside James in his bed tonight, we were discussing his feelings about his big day tomorrow... first day of first grade.
me: ..."why are you a little bit nervous?"
James: "Because some kids might not like me."
"Why would kids not like you?"
"Because I'm a little bit different."
"How are you different?"
"Well, like, because I like fruits and vegetables and stuff."
.....Wow, if these are the biggest 'differences' he's worried about, I'm thinking he will be just fine.
Incidentally, earlier in our conversation we were discussing what else to put in his lunch. He was hesitant when I suggested carrots. I guess I now know why. I'm thinking there will be plenty of other "weird" kids whose mothers insist on healthy lunches, too.
