MOM: If I let you have a bite of brownie, will you eat your sandwich? KID: *nods, reaches for brownie* MOM: I said A bite! MOM: *grimly* Now eat your sandwich. KID: … MOM: … SANDWICH: *remains uneaten*

🤣🤣 retired (thankfully) teacher. I loved dining room duty. Trying to convince 150 kids to eat their lunch. 😫And in Spain it's the main meal of the day.

MOM: I have given you everything you asked for today and all I asked you to do was eat ONE sandwich. KID: *unmoved by guilt or pity* SANDWICH: *like an albatross, but around whose neck?*

...Has this kid tried explaining why they don't want to eat it? Like, is it an ingredient on it, or are they feeling overwhelmed, or a texture thing, or... Like dang, there's gotta be SOME reason, difficult as it may be to articulate

OH NO, CRITICAL ERROR, MOM I have great sympathy for people trying to figure out what to do with children being children, but this is the moment she lost the war.
