All parents know the very real struggle of trying to convince their kid to eat.
But the experience becomes all the more frustrating when your kid says, for example, that they can't eat their bread because the flour makes their hands feel weird.
The picky explanations children give are now the fodder of a new Instagram account called My Kids Can't Eat This, spotted on The Daily Mail.
Started two weeks ago, the anonymously-run account has soared to over 43,000 followers at the time of this post. My Kids Can't Eat This encourages parents to submit pictures of the offending food as well as the child's explanation for why it's inedible.
Most of the reasons are purely logical from only a child's perspective. One boy refused his peeled orange because the juice was "too wet."
Another would not eat a pickle that already had fork holes in it because he told his mom it was sad.
Sometimes it wasn't the food itself, but the receptacle it came in. From a spoon without a princess on it to the "wrong bowl," packaging can make all the difference for picky eaters.
Some of the reasons are incredibly puzzling. One child wouldn't eat beans unless there were sprinkles on top. Another kid said a glass of milk was undrinkable because it was "crunchy."
Commenters love the account, encouraging other moms, dads, and soon-to-be parents to follow along and share their own frustrating examples of why their children won't eat their meals:
