    The first time I read this, I took it as a "you all" vs "you" meaning "me." So, I asked my kids what the family would eat. (It's spring break and I'm lucky enough to have the rascals at home.)

    Six-Year-Old: Brownies! And Dr. Pepper!

    Nine-Year-Old: Brownies! And Coke!

    Me: But what if you started to feel really sick because your body wasn't getting the nutrition it needs?

    Six-Year-Old: Ok. I would eat blueberries, bananas, apples, and tangerines.

    Nine-Year-Old: Cheese rolls? 

    Me: Cheese rolls aren't really healthy. 

    Nine-Year-Old: (squints, crosses arms, locks jaw) Fine. Cauliflower. 

    Me: (Returns to question and realizes I asked the wrong thing) Umm... So, guys, what if you picked out my meals? What would you make me eat?

    Six-Year-Old: Caramel macchiatos!!! And brownies!

    Nine-Year-Old: Umm.... blueberries? 

    I now have a new favorite child. This post was edited by Just Asking at March 12, 2018 3:51 PM MDT
