The world must be coming to an end...

[Aidensmom]

We went out to dinner tonight, and DS4, for his side dish, instead of choosing french fries, voluntarily chose BROCCOLI!

You have lightning rods? Good insurance?

what is worng with kids today, I would have cried before I ate that junk

 

[Kimmielee]

Oh my gosh... my DS(6) picked apple sauce over french fries... what is it?

A pandemic? Is there a full moon? Perhaps a curse has been placed?

dd5 chose fruit cup tonight too. Maybe it is end of days???

 

[Grumpy's Wife]

Good for him. I wouldn't have chosen it myself. I don't like veggies that look like little trees.

The past 2 years I taught Kindergarten and we had hot lunch served in the classroom. I was always amazed at the number of kids who got excited when we would have broccoli! My own kids love it too. At least it's something good for them!

At McDonalds yesterday I had a quarter pounder and fries and DD 13 had a hamburger and side salad.

My kids love broccoli and when we go to McDonald's, DDs 3 and 6 want the salads instead of Happy Meals! Now DS9, plain cheeseburger with fries everytime!

When dd was little, she hated potatoes in any way, shape, and form including french fries. We didn't eat out that often and I wouldn't have had any problem with her getting fries with her meal but she'd always have me ask for a salad or a fruit plate or applesauce instead. A lot of times, the waitress would give her a pitying look like I was just being mean.

She's 15 now and still won't eat mashed potatoes. I have no idea where I went wrong.

My kids are odd. They both love veggies. They love seafood too and trying new things. They especially love to eat things I don't like.

 

[meshmar]

I always liked fresh fruits and veggies as a kid ... except for beets and sweet peas.

DD#1 is the same way. Won't touch potatoes in any way, shape or form. And she's that way with most meats too so feeding her can be a challenge!

My youngest always orders fruit instead of fries no matter where we go. The boy loves his fruit!

For all of the negative press, I'm glad to see the fast food chains offering some healthier choices. My kids haven't eaten a french fry from McD's in a couple years now since they always want the apples (w/out the dip though--none of them like it!).

My youngest DD (StitchfansJr) doesn't care for french fries either. She usually asks for a baked potato instead. Most likely got that from me since I am not a fan of french fries either.

Watch out! I'm betting he wants something . . . something good. I always behaved very well when I had something on my *list*.

If not, this kid is extremely lucky and will have a great, healthy life where brownies and ice cream do not personally call his name (like those in my kitchen do to me.)
