Mom said, “Don’t worry, lentils are healthy,” which is parent code for, “You’re definitely eating this.”
Our teacher used a lentil to show how small seeds can grow, but I was just impressed that one lentil got more attention than I ever do in class.
Grandma said eating lentil stew makes you strong, so I flexed my tiny muscles after one spoonful and yelled, “FEAR ME!”

A child watched grandma stir a pot of brown lentil soup. A lentil rolled off the spoon and dropped on the table. Grandma smiled, picked up the lentil, and showed the child the small, round seed. She tossed the lentil back into the pot with many more lentil seeds, then handed the child a bowl. The child tasted and smiled.
