I found out how to make Boomop1 eat sweet potato pie.
One year I bought a pumpkin pie and sweet potato pie.
It had the name of each on the lid.. I switched the lid and he ate Sweet Potato pie ha ha...got him good.
He said after he had eaten the whole thing "I thought it
tasted a little funny" right ha ha
Gotcha sweetie pie
