Eli has never been interested in eating grapes. If you offer them to him, he doesn’t even try.

Donné offered Eli some grapes today, and as expected he was not interested, so Grace took it upon herself to try and get Eli to eat a grape. She says to him, “Eli, just try a one grape.” Nope, not interested. Then she says, “Eli, you’ll like it, there is juice in grapes.”

Ah, that did the trick and he ate some grapes.

Grace says to Donné, “See mommy, I told him there was juice in them and he ate one!” but Donné is thinking that he just decided to try one, and it didn’t have anything to do with Grace’s persuasion methods.

Later Donné offered Eli a grape again, and he says, “Juice inside.” Well mommy, I think Grace was right and it was her juicy persuasion that managed to sway him.
