23 Eating Rules According to a Toddler
Hey there! If you’ve ever had a meal with a toddler, you know it’s quite the experience. Here are 23 rules that they seem to live by when it comes to food:
- Start your day by rejecting anything that isn’t Cheerios. And no milk on Mondays, Thursdays, and those special every-other Fridays.
- If someone messes that up, it’s time to have a mini meltdown.
- New foods? Nope, not happening—ever.
- Just because you devoured something yesterday doesn’t mean you’ll touch it today. Your taste buds are allowed to change whimsically.
- Anything that used to be alive? Approach with caution. Stale, orange stuff is your new best friend.
- While grocery shopping, ask for a full buffet of options, but when you get home, either act like you’ve never seen them or refuse to eat them once cooked.
- Spend quality time memorizing brand names to ensure you only eat the “real” stuff.
- If it takes more than 30 seconds to prepare, it’s a no-go.
- Keep asking how long until food is ready, and if it takes too long, throw a fit on the floor.
- If the meal comes out half-frozen, that’s okay—you weren’t going to eat it anyway.
- Wednesdays? No eating allowed. Just because.
- Insist on having a spoon, knife, and two forks at every meal, but use your hands anyway.
- Demand one particular plate and throw a tantrum if it’s dirty.
- Make a game out of clearing your plate onto the floor. After all, someone is always cleaning up, right?
- Sweet potato chips? Purely offensive.
- Steer clear of anything with sauce; it could be hiding blended veggies.
- Water? Nope. Just wait until you’re parched, and then teach everyone a lesson by getting dehydrated.
- Always say you’re starving when you’re in the bath—timing is everything!
- Train yourself to wake up at midnight for bananas. It’s a skill!
- Casseroles, stews, and pies? Not trustworthy at all.
- Seriously, sweet potato chips are just wrong.
- Kick anyone who calls broccoli “little trees”—that’s just rude.
- Avocado? Absolutely not—what even is that?
