This entertaining video illustrates the challenges of feeding children. Parents universally understand that no matter how deliciously crafted or lovingly prepared a home-cooked meal might be, if it’s not frozen chicken nuggets or boxed mac and cheese, kids often react as if it’s inedible. One dad took advantage of face-swapping technology to produce a relatable and humorous portrayal of what many family dinners resemble.
Known as “Tommy,” the creator behind the popular YouTube channel FamilyFun TV, utilized Face Swap to add an amusing twist to an otherwise ordinary dinner experience with his two young daughters, who had a lot to say about his cooking—or as they put it, a “heap of hot rubbish.”
As he serves a steaming plate of his culinary creation to his youngest daughter, Lily, she unleashes a barrage of scathing comments that perfectly encapsulate the typical inner thoughts of toddlers at mealtime. “Oh, I was really hoping for a plate of hot rubbish for dinner tonight, so thank you!”
His elder daughter, Grace, takes a more courteous approach, but after being denied dessert before tackling the “hot rubbish,” she asserts that her dad is a “rubbish human.” The merciless critique only escalates from there.
- “Hey, Dad, do you actually know how to cook, or do you just know how to put trash in the oven?”
- “Knock-knock, Dad. It’s the food police. They’ve come because you tried to poison us with this rubbish dinner.”
- “This meal is like if a bucket of vomit had the audacity to commit a hate crime.”
- “It smells like a burning tire fire.”
- “It’s as if the Devil sneezed, lit it on fire, and cursed it before sending it to my plate.”
- “Just so you know, I’m a Yelp reviewer, and you’re not getting a good rating here.”
While the poor dad valiantly defends his cooking, insisting it’s not that bad, the hilarity of the situation rings true for many parents. How often have we prepared “kid-friendly” meals or tried countless Pinterest recipes only to see our children refuse to touch anything that isn’t their favorite?
Reflecting on my own experiences, I once fell victim to First Child Syndrome, making all of my daughter’s baby food from scratch and desperately trying to introduce her to everything from avocados to kale—foods I wouldn’t dare eat myself. Despite my efforts to cultivate a non-picky eater, my child now survives on the same diet as most toddlers: chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, M&Ms, and the occasional fruit or vegetable. Any other food is essentially treated as hot rubbish.
In essence, this dad is a reflection of all of us, faced with the nightly battle at dinner time, at least until our kids develop a more refined palate.
