But I don't want to eat that




A picture true despondency. THAT! I HAVE TO EAT THAT! BUT I DON"T LIKE THAT! We have all been there, right? After seeing what has been laid before you to consume you nose immediantly crinkles up and your mouth involuntarily claps shut in protest of what it knows is going to get shoved in it. The taste buds on your tongue start scrambling for cover. So you sit there, and you sit there, staring down at this...stuff that you don't want to eat.


"Eat it!" your mother says. You look again and sit some more. Minutes fly by until now is it not only yucky but cold so now it is doubly gross. "Pick up that fork and start eating right now." You jump, realizing this war can not be won so you slowly pick up your fork and with a lump in your throat stab the first of several now chilly morsels and raise it to your lips. Your mouth opens and your tongue feels a cold sensation followed by a blend of flavors that had they been warm might not have been so unpleasant after all.


"Hey, when you get done do you want to play?" calls one of your friend. "Yes!" you reply enthusiastically and start shoveling food down the hatch with gusto.


Just another day in the life of a kid.
