The title says it all. Dieting is dull. F~cking dull.
But you know what?
There are plenty of other things even more dull than dieting. And some of them don't involve freedom of choice. You've just got to wait them out. It's not new news - I've mentioned it before in these blogs.
Loki, bless his beautiful soul, is in the middle of the 'why'? phase. Repetition and constant questioning are his default setting at the moment. Any statement, virtually anything you say that isn't definitive, or even if it is, gets the question back 'Why?'.
'I'm going for a wee now Loki' gets 'Why?'. 'Because I'm full of piss'.
'Why?' 'Because I drank like a fish'. 'Why?' 'Because you keep doing this you little maniac.'
So many hours spent answering this question with no end. 'Daddy's feeling tired, Loki, time to give him a break'.
'Why?' 'Because he's had a long day.'
'Why?' 'To pay for your bloody tonnes of plastic that he keeps stepping on to get to the sofa.'
'Why?' 'Because you're a messy little bastard who lays waste to any free space you see.'
'Why?' 'Because I'm a terrible parent and I haven't learned, even with my third child, how to discipline you.'
'Why?' 'Because there's only so many hours in the day, and life is futile anyway, we're all headed to the great celestial dustbin in the end, so what's the point?'
'Oh.'
Pause.
'Daddy?'
'Yes?'
'I want something to eat.'
