All I know is, my kids would NEVER get away with this. I do have a
daughter who pretty much always wants chicken nuggets if were going
out to eat. Either that or Pizza.
but, if were eating at someone else's house, or our own and that's not
on the menu, she know good and well to hold her tongue.
She does make some pretty choice faces on food I know she does not
like (spinach anyone)
