Title: What IS That?

'Come on, Katie, eat it! It's not going to bite you!' My mom glared at me.
I covered my mouth and made a face. 'That gross looking thing? It smells like fresh garbage.'
'Gosh, Katie! You like chicken, right?' My mom inquired.
'Yes,' I said suspiciously, 'But that isn't chicken.'
'Actually,' My mom said airily, 'It is.'
'THAT thing?' I shrieked.
'Yup. It's chicken. Now eat it.'
'Oh, fine.' I picked it up from the plate, squinted at it, and took a bite. 'Oooh, it's good.'
'I know.' My mom smirked. 'And it's not chicken.'
'WHAT?' I sputtered. 'You tricky person!' I struggled to swallow it.
'But you like it!' My mom said clearly. 'I helped you go from picky eater to curious-but-careful eater.'

'Oh, well.' I sighed. Then I smiled. I liked it! I liked it! I liked it!
Another food to add to my list of good foods. Now the list has six foods! Ice cream, pizza, chicken, macaroni and cheese, steak, and mysterious-not-really chicken!
