any food looks better with cheese on it!

Earlier today, I made myself a plate of leftover spaghetti squash and melted cheese and sat down to eat it. Gabe looked and asked what I was eating, so I told him. Now Gabe decided a long time ago that he doesn't like squash, and every time I have offered him some he has said "no thank you." But this time I asked him if he wanted some, and he said yes! Must've been the cheese that looked so appetizing to him...So, I scooped up some squash with a good deal of cheese with it, and offered him a bite (figuring that he would change his mind and not eat it. "No, no, I want my own!" Okay... So I got a plate and put a little on the plate and gave him a fork and he sat down to eat with me. He ate three whole bites! I think it was mostly cheese, but he did get a little squash with it, too. Where did my squash-hating son go? I wondered. And then he was back. He scooped up bite #4, looked at it critically, and then said "ewww! slimy!" and would eat no more.
