Feeding toddlers

Does this sound familar?

Parents: We’re having quesedillas for dinner, and they’re all ready! We even have sour cream! 

(expecting applause, or at the least a “mmm”)

Kid(s): I don’t like quesedillas. 

Parents: You just ate one last weekend. 

Kid(s): I don’t like quesedillas. 

Parent(s): Grrrrrr. 

15 minutes later…

Parent(s): Here’s some chicken nuggets. 

Score?

Parents - One. They’re Morningstar nuggets and full of protein. Better for them than a quesedilla anyway.

Kid(s) - One and a half. We lost the battle and the 10 extra minutes to bake the nuggets. Also, they ate that for lunch.
