In general I'm not a huge fan of people saying things like "oh you're just getting back what you deserve" to me when my children are being brats. (and kids? seriously, you both can work a brat angle when you're so inclined.)
.
But Logan, I really do hope your children are hell at the dinner table. Just like you are with us. It really doesn't matter what's being served - if it's not in the category of "chicken nugget, canned spaghetti, hot dogs, or hamburgers" then you won't have any part of it.

This? Is getting old, my friend. Very, very old. Here is the reaction I get when I dare to put a vegetable on your plate:

It's beef stir fry, not arsenic.

On this particular day your father and I drew a line.....and lost. You couldn't get up from the table until you had eaten some vegetables off your plate.

You sat there until bed time.

As I'm typing this, I can hear you screaming over the carrots on your plate from tonight's dinner.....

You will not beat me. You hear? YOU WILL EAT A VEGETABLE!!!!!!!!!!
And no, french fries don't count.
Nice try.
