My Kid Can't Eat This: Parents share the funniest mealtime excuses on Instagram
"MyKidCantEatThis because the hotdogs aren't peeled"
Parents fed up with the infuriating, and seemingly random, excuses their children use for not finishing their meals are sharing their funniest examples on Instagram.
One child complained that their milk is crunchy, while another frustrated parent wrote alongside a picture of a cheese string: “My kid can’t eat this because I opened it half an inch.”
Perhaps the most strange submission yet is a picture of a chopped up hot dog captioned: “#mykidcanteatthis because the hot dogs aren’t peeled. #allskinsaredisgusting”.
The My Kid Can’t Eat This Instagram account was launched earlier this month, but already has almost 30,000 followers. To make submissions, parents tag a photo of discarded food with #MyKidCantEatThis.
Crucially, they must also include whatever reasoning their little darling has plucked from thin air.
