It doesn't matter how delicious a meal is, sometimes you just don't feel like eating it, and few are more fickle about their cravings than young children.
In the span of five minutes it's not uncommon for a toddler to go from begging for a snack to weeping about how that very snack 'looks weird' or doesn't feel the same emotionally, and while this can be a frustrating dynamic in the long-term, it makes for some very funny exchanges.
The Instagram account My Kid Can't Eat This was created with the sole purpose of capturing the most absurd reasons children refuse to eat their meals, and it's truly a beautiful feed of ridiculous.
While there's a full feed of posts to wade through, I gathered 20 of my favorites for you to enjoy as you kick off the weekend in quarantine.
1. TFW your toast looks too much like a bunny, and eating bunnies makes you sad.
2. When you realize the bats are fake and proceed to weep.
3. Broken carrots, even in artistic lay-outs, are absolutely unacceptable.
4. TFW mom wants you to eat shells, which obviously belong in the ocean.
