Omnivore or herbivore????

Riley decided that she wanted to "try" being a vegetarian. So this Sunday she declared herself a vegetarian for a week. Sunday went smoothly, through breakfast that is and then we went for a late lunch after leaving the Huntington. She had a hamburger for lunch and then about 1/2 an hour later in the car she suddenly started crying. She said, "I forgot that I'm a vegetarian and ate a hamburger". It took a bit of talking to calm her down and convince her it was ok and she could just start over. Then at dinner we had black bean and corn quesadillas and Riley was picking out the black beans. I told her she was going to have to eat beans for protein if she wanted to be a vegetarian. She was not liking the idea one bit.
Day two: We decided to pick up Chili's to go for dinner. Riley whines and whines about how much she loves their ribs and she wants to order ribs, blah blah blah. Finally she orders the grilled cheese and drools over her dad and brother's ribs the whole time.
Day three: We go to Pick up Stix where they have Riley's favorite, crispy honey chicken, she spends five minutes contemplating the menu and then asks, "do vegetarians occasionaly eat chicken?". At which point I finally convinced her that she was not cut out for the vegetarian life and she ordered the chicken.
So she officially made it one day without meat. LOL!
