Proudly brought to you by 4 year old:
“Actually, mum. I was only joking when I said I wanted more…”
“My stomach hurts.”
“I didn’t say I wanted this!!” When in actually fact, the other 4 in household are sure he did.
“I’ll just have toast and maple syrup.”
“So…even if I don’t finish this, I still get dessert? Cool!” Umm..No.
“This part has gone rotten.” In the time it’s taken to get from the pot to the plate?
“Actually, I wasn’t hungry when I started eating.”
“Do I have to finish all of this??”
“But I already ate at lunchtime!”

He is a terribly fussy eater, yes.

I get the “I’m tired” after which they remove themselves from the table and proceed to jump around the room in a frenzy!
Goodness..how could I have possibly forgotten that one?

LOL, I get that kind of thing from my 7 year old daughter… she seems to think it takes milk 2.5 minutes in a glass to go cheesey – even if the half full glass of milk was returned to the fridge she still thinks it will have gone cheesey!
As for my 4 year old son, if he’s enjoying his meal but tired he’ll actually fall asleep whilst eating! LOL. I have a phone video of him swaying in his chair, eyes closed but still chewing! LOL
