Every once in a while we have a ‘make you own pizza’night dinner and my kids just love it! I lay out all the basic supplies of mini crusts,pizza sauce,and cheese and the kids do the rest. Typically,they add the standard toppings such as pepperoni,sausage and mushrooms. When they’re feeling a little wild and crazy in the kitchen,they’ve topped their pizzas with shrimp,chicken,bacon and even some left over mac and cheese.
Last night,one of my sons tried a new one,the hot dog pizza. My other three kids were all over him telling him how disgusting it was,that it wold taste gross and all the yuck and ewww sound effects that went along with it. My son said nothing and just put his pizza in the oven.

My son smiled and said,“yes,it does!”
All of a sudden,the other two plain and one bacon pizzas that came out of the oven didn’t look so appetizing compared to the hot dog pizza.
My son sat quietly at the counter eating his hot dog pizza as the other three waited for him to say something,anything. He chose to finish the whole thing and then tell them how good it was! He was then asked by his brothers and sister if he would make another hot dog pizza with the extra crust so they could try it. He obliged and after the other three tasted it,there was a unanimous decision made in the house,the hot dog pizza is currently #1 on the family favorite list!
