Kids Eat The Darndest Things!

(By Mike Brinkerhoff - from Keeping Up With The Brinkerhoffs) - if you don't see the pics, just click on over!

Our poor, gullible Tyler...

Cindy has a long history of tricking him in to eating things that shouldn't really be eaten.

One time, back when he was probably 4, they were making home-made Play Doh together. While sitting on the counter helping, Tyler looked down at the creamy red Doh in the pot and licked his lips... Cindy said, "Do you want to try some?" and Tyler eagerly nodded his head.

One teensy spoonful later, and he was hanging his tongue out while Cindy fought to keep breathing through her laughter.

Well, the other night, while Danee was enjoying crackers with chocolate frosting, the rest of us had been enjoying some smoked salmon. Cindy started preparing a cracker with frosting for herself, then looked at Tyler and asked if he'd ever had smoked salmon on a frosted cracker...

At least he was a LITTLE skeptical... Just not skeptical enough. It only took one round of "oh yeah, when I was a kid, this is how we always ate it!" before he stepped up to the plate and was ready to give it a try...



And a moment later, it was a replay of the Play Doh incident!



Luckily for us, he's a totally good sport, and is able to laugh at stuff like this!!

  1. Tyler, Tyler, Tyler! Haven't you EVER watched Snow White????
    Don't you realize that it was the Step Mother who poisoned that apple?!?!?
    From now on be very very careful when Cindy gives you something strange to eat. As much as we all love her, it must never be forgotten that she is still a dues paying Step Mother!
    LOL! LOL! LOL! TEE HEE TEE HEE and three more LOL'S

  3. THAT...IS...DISGUSTING!

    Has Cindy ever had him join her in an Oreo eating contest? Say go...watch him dive in, only to find out that you have replaced the white frosting with white toothpaste. Mint and chocolate usually go well together...but this is pretty much not the case.
