I had good hopens, because sometimes she's closer to a trashcan than a little girl. If you give her something and say "Try this", she just eats it and mostly likes it. She isn't picky. The only exception are sprouts. (Are they called like that in English? This stuff right here, hated by most young kids across the planet.)
So I give her a piece of ginger, and as expected, she just eats it. Her entire face lights up in a big grin. "I like that!" she says, and immediately grabs another piece and proceeds to eat it as well.
Then mom eats a piece as well, and pretends to be choking and says she can't eat something like that. And instantly, my niece, with a pout, also says: "I didn't like it either."
I understand, she doesn't want to betray mom, but I think my sister isn't smart behaving like that. I wouldn't be surprised if my sister (and her boyfriend, who are both very picky) ruin my niece's palate eventually, just because *they* don't want to eat lots of stuff and thus my niece never gets to eat it either. |
Agreeing, your sister isn't smart.
Might I suggest calf fries next but just tell your sister they are small pieces of beef.
