30 Parents Post The Most Hilariously Ridiculous Excuses Their Kids Refused To Eat Their Food

I was always dumbfounded by picky eater kids when I was little. I ate everything. Mostly because if I didn’t someone else would, but I genuinely liked all food.

That is not normally the case. So much so that the Instagram account My Kid Can’t Eat This was born. Parents can share the ridiculous and creative reasons their funny kids absolutely refuse to eat something.

Most are truly absurd, and prime examples of kid logic, but a few I have to agree with. Like, yeah, those dumplings do have toes.
