How do you do this to your kids?

[shardian]

 Fruit makes my older son throw up.  I've seen it quite a few times.  Bite a banana, gag, vomit.  Same with apple.  No amount of vigilance is going to make a kid eat something that makes him puke.

Hehe, I did that too as a kid/teenager. I remember dry-heaving like crazy when I had to try and eat vegetables other than corn and green beans.

I do it with onions.  They make me chuck immediately.  Cooked, raw, in any form.  I don't get anywhere near swallowing them and don't think I even could.

[shardian]

The thing that irritates me now is when I catch myself picking stuff out of my food out of forcive habit. I don't mind the stuff, I just did it for so long, my brain tries to tell me to get rid of it. 

[ChadTower]

I still pick onions out of everything that has them.  Always will.  And they're in freakin everything.

[shmokes]

They will actually not eat rather than eat the steak or chicken. 

Heh, Chad sucks at grilling.

Perhaps you need less vigilance and more duct tape.  Or just spank him.  Nothing else appears to be working

I'm just waiting for the time that Shmoke's little girl takes a shoe and throws it at his brand new 60" wide screen TV.  THEN we'll be talking some duct tape.

If he's lucky, he won't be at home at the time.  Then he'll have the time to calm down as he drives home so he doesn't hit his child like the rest of you inbred yokels   Oh, and me too

That's awesome.

Just looking at that paint mess above reminds me of a huge culture shock I recieved when I met this family where the kids would always do crap like that and paint all over the furniture.

The parents would encourage that behavior because they thought it was art and the children were displaying their creatitivity. 

[fredster]

My son did that to my Mitsubishi and broke the lenticular screen of my 60" projection TV.  He was 2 1/2 and was chasing a neighbor's kid. I told him to get out of the living room but NOOOOO.

He took his shoe and threw it at the little girl and missed.

I was very, very upset when I discovered it. Very.

Very.

My and my sisters painted our cat when we were really young.  I think my parents had to shave him after that (I was really young and don't remember doing it, but they've told the story a number of times.) 

Another cruel yet funny story is that my parents used to have a couple chickens, and one time they let all the eggs hatch so there were a bunch of baby chicks.  I should also point out that we all learned to swim very young, so it wasn't uncommon to be left by the pool for a little while.  Anyways, one day my mom goes in the back yard and finds my sister sitting on the edge of pool with a pile of dead chicks next to her.  My sister then picked up one of the chicks, put it in the pool and says "Swim duck, swim duck"

We also had a couple sheep named "Lamb" and "Chop", one day we came home from school to find the sheep gone, but the freezers full of food      I had an odd childhood, but a good one.

I didn't think chicken eggs (that you eat) could hatch.  I thought the eggs we eat were basically chicken periods.  Surely the rooster isn't going around getting it on with all those hens every single day.

Often the eggs are fertilized, but not always...you can eat either, and it will probably be early enough to not know the difference...I think...I haven't had chicken 101, so don't take my word on it.

Once I was forced to buy eggs from the natural food market, the eggs were like 1 dollar per egg, and most were bloody, and one had a chick starting to develop...gimme radiated eggs any day!

Your right, generally store eggs are unfertalized, but as I said, we had a couple chickens, as in live chickens who would lay fresh eggs daily.  I'm guessing we also had a rooster, at least temporarily, otherwise it would of been difficult to get the eggs from our chickens to hatch.

[ChadTower]

We used to have chickens when I was a kid... the eggs we got from them were fertilized sometimes.  They'd have an embryo in them you could see when you broke them.  I've seen eggs from the store like that too.  It's pretty gross.

If you have chickens, and don't let the rooster at them sometimes, you don't get new chickens.

[shardian]

Reminds me of that episode of Survivor when the people had to eat partially developed eggs. That was gross...
