What is it about young kids and their aversion to bread crusts? I've never been able to figure it out, but it seems to be a universal dislike.
For lunch today, I made my children pizza bagels. They adored them, particularly since they were Montreal bagels which I'd bribed a friend of mine to bring back on his last trip to my hometown.
My youngest son asked for second and third helpings of the mini pizzas. What cracked me up was that he left three small rings on his plate. Since when did bagels have a crust?

That is so cute. Of course everything about the Golden Child is cute.
That is quite funny isn't it? I never had an aversion, but am also the type to eat the crust of my pizza.
Snooze: I have to admit that the Golden Child is pretty adorable. Unfortunately, he is all too aware of his charms and tries to use them shamelessly to manipulate R. and I. Wait until you come over and watch him try his stuff on you!
Epi: I vaguely recall once trying to leave the crusts of my bread alone and my parents barking at me. So I ate them and discovered that I actually liked the crispy crusts of bread more than I did the insides. It's all psychological since my little guy will eat a toasted bagel in its entirety. I'm wondering if there's something hardwired that tells young people to avoid the crusts? Maybe because they know half the time their hands are dirty and so they don't want to eat the part of the food that they used to hold?
Yet they eat dirt...
And it would be my pleasure to dote on the Golden Child hand and foot. Honestly, I think you just have a bad attitude (says she who can't even look after one cat properly)
Mmmm .... Montreal bagels .... I'd eat the crust (pizza bagel or not) promise!
Snooze: When are you coming over, hon? I've prepped the Golden Child for your arrival. He expects you to treat him like the prince that he is.
Ink: The last time I went to Montreal, I came home with five dozen bagels. As soon as I got into my car after exiting the airport, I tore open the bag and started the gorge fest. I managed to inhale three before I even arrived home! No crusts left behind either, I might add.
