If I knew you were coming I'd have baked a sweet potato

Joe has always been an intense kid, and when he gets interested in something he goes all in. When he was small it was Lego sets and Nerf guns; these days it is fitness and nutrition. He is coming home for the summer this weekend, and I texted him to see if he wanted anything in particular as a welcome-home meal. I didn't want to make him a big extravagant cake if he would be reluctant to eat it, and he doesn't eat many sweets these days.

So I texted him, pretty much giving him carte blanche to choose the menu, and he texted me right back. "How about sweet potatoes and sugar snaps?" he suggested. 

I said absolutely, sweetheart; you can have all the vegetables you want.

I'm pretty sure that's not the welcome meal his siblings would have chosen.
