Our kids were obligated to "try"
everything that my wife cooked.

I remember a visit from relatives....
When suppertime rolled around,
Visiting Dad went out to the local McDonalds,
and brought home a BigMac and fries for their picky eater.

Our kids were ASTOUNDED !! ...eyes big as saucers....
....how come HE gets "McDonalds"??
Years afterward, they still spoke of Cousin Mark
who didn't have to eat carrots.
