When you're a six year old boy you have an internal drive to make everything dramatic and exciting.
This evening as we were atttempting to persuade Jack to eat his green beans, he said "But I don't know if I don't like them or if I do like them".
To this Charity replied, "Well it doesn't matter. I cooked them and either way- you're going to eat them".
Jack looked thoughtful, and trying his very best to find the motivation to comply with our completely unreasonable demands, his eyebrows suddenly shot straight up as he enthusiastically queried, "You mean so they don't destroy the world?"

"umm... yes. Eat your green beans. So they don't destroy the world".

Mission Accomplished.
