Picky Eater

It was inevitable that with four kids, at least one would be a little bit fussy about food. Since birth, Maylin has been that child. So almost every night we exert various efforts to coax, threaten, bribe, demand she tries whatever we have cooked for dinner. Last night was no exception. As the rest of us dined on soup and bread rolls, she made her "I'm so disgusted" face, and stared stubbornly at her plate.

Dan began lecturing..... "blah, blah, typical parent stuff... and you should be thankful.... there are kids all over the world that have nothing to eat!"

Maylin scrunched up her face, "Why should I be thankful other people don't have anything to eat?"

Ahh, yeah, didn't mean it that way exactly. Just eat your food.
