If you have a kid, every food you put in front of them for the first 3 years will become the "Regular" food. Do not repeatedly present food to a kid under 3 that you are not prepared to serve for eleven years. Why? Because anything even a little different brought forth after that time, will be rejected with an immediate, whiny request for "Regular" (Fill in Blank Here).i.e.:
When you get Donatos instead of Papa Johns: "I don't like That pizza. I want regular pizza."
When you use Angel Hair instead of Spaghetti Noodles: "I want regular spaghetti."
When the burger is not from McDonalds: "Not that burger. A regular burger."
And even though you know that you sound exactly like your mother, you too will say:
"That is a regular burger. It just looks different. Try it. It's good."
Then you will continue to have the classic disagreement that always ends one, and only one way -- with a kid not eating any of that nasty, un-regular food.
Then, just when you thought you were finished sounding like your mother, they will ask for dessert and if you're eating out you will say:
"We have (insert dessert here) at home." Followed by:
"But you're not having any because you wouldn't eat a perfectly good hamburger."
