Manna Experiment

We have been studying about the Israelites Exodus out of Egypt. For 40 years the Israelites wandered the dessert. The Lord provided Manna for them every morning. I realize that honey flavored bread wafers may get old after a while. So yesterday I did an experiment with the boys. I served Manna (popcorn) for a morning snack and then again for lunch. Gage and Levi thought it was awesome, Hayden... that was a whole different story! He was not impressed at all! He threw a 20 minute fit before settling down long enough to let me read the bible story. He was totally irrational and all we could do was laugh at him. I realize that just upset him more, but it sure was a sight to see.

We talked about how God provided them the same thing to eat every single day and of course the Israelites grumbled. Hayden was our perfect example of a grumbling Israelite.

I did allow Hayden to eat a real lunch but I threatened to offer him popcorn for an afternoon snack and for dinner. He said "can we at least have POPCORN CHICKEN for dinner"? I wish I had some to offer him! I think it may be a while before he eats popcorn again.
