Mom Tip

by Erinn

If my sometimes picky children are having trouble eating what is on their plates, I try this trick: I say “please don’t eat me R!” or “Oh no, I don’t want to be eaten please. Save the broccoli!”

My ventriloquist skills need some work but it is enough to get some laughs and defiant bites of food. This trick works 80% of the time.
