Dinner time is when I find

My neurosis at its height.

When toddler glue’s their lips tight shut,

Won’t take a single bite. 😶

…

That’s when instinct kicks right in,

The panic and the fear.

To us it feels as if they haven’t

Eaten for a year!

…

You try, you coax, you beg, you plead,

But it does no good

And you are stuck at panic station

Until they eat some food. 😱
