Struggles That Picky Eaters Face

Being a picky eater definitely has its struggles. For one, people look at you like you are peculiar. However, being a picky eater doesn't make you weird, it just means that you have a certain liking for some foods while you avoid others. The pickiest eaters are usually toddlers, but for some, being picky continues through the rest one's life. It is very common for babies and toddlers to be picky eaters, but thankfully, most people outgrow picky eating once they get older, such as in childhood and adulthood.

1. The amount of things you eat is very small

Usually consisting of comfort foods and the same foods you eat in rotation. The same foods every single time.... such as mac and cheese and pizza

2. All of your fast foods orders have the "special order" sticker.

Customized for picky eaters. The sticker you see when you know your food is safe to eat

3. When people say, "Just scrape the sauce off," as if the flavor won't remain

Hence ruining someone's meal. Because you can not just scrape off the sauce, it doesn't work that way.

4. You’ve become an expert in quickly and efficiently picking out the bits you don’t like.

5. You know that a full fridge doesn’t necessarily mean there’s anything for you to eat.

6. You’ve lied about being allergic to things, just to get out of having to try them.

7. It’s a rare occasion when you can order something straight off the menu without a request of some sort.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

It’s here; that time of year when college students turn into preschoolers again. We cry for our mothers, eat everything in sight, and whine when we don’t get our way.
