I am one of those parents…that lets their kid eat bologna. Yes, I know it’s not exactly the healthiest thing I could feed my child but Ella has become fixated on it.
She eats bologna for breakfast, lunch, dinner and midnight snack. Sometimes she even has to have it in the middle of the night. I have been awakened more times than I can count to the refrains of “BA-WON-IE!!!! JUICE!!!! MAMA!!!!
“BA-WON-IE” requests are often met around 3 a.m. in the middle of a dead sleep. If it means I can get a few more hours shut eye…by all means, eat some bologna.
I am ashamed to admit I have woke up in the morning with dried bologna in my bed…and the bright red stain of Kool-Aid on my sheets. The things I will do for sleep amazes me.
I have often thought of using that plastic rind around the bologna to engineer some type of bologna necklace so I won’t have to get up in the middle of the night. A self-feeder, if you will.
Some people count sheep to go to sleep…Ella counts bologna rolls.
Whatever works…

My kids eat BA-WON-IE, too. I’m not a fan of it, but if it makes the kids happy…I’ll give it to them. Hubby fries it up and puts cheese on it – one of their favorites.
Not exactly something one wants to do at 3am, but maybe for Ella’s lunch.

I have to admit I am a fan of fried bologna, cheese and Miracle Whip on white bread.
It’s the redneck filet mignon!
I even have a friend who eats fried bologna and scrambled eggs.

That’s too funny!
My youngest daughter loved to eat uncooked hot dogs when she was a little girl.
Even after all those preservatives, she turned out just fine.

I have a bologna lover too. And one of my favorite sandwiches-is the redneck filet mignon!
