And not just for her very poignant warnings about Waffle House.
A couple weeks back I was having lunch with my roommate's family. Dave has two nephews, 3 years and... 4 months, I believe. Maybe less. shoot, I dunno. But the 3 year old wouldn't eat his chili. They tried telling him to, and warning him about the consequences, etc. Then I decided I'd borrow an idea from Ange, the Family Bite. So I spooned up some chili, said "Hey, Ethan, I'm gonna take a bite of chili. Want to take a bite at the same time?" Dave and Jason, Ethan's dad, also grabbed a bite. Ethan made sure he ate his bite before anyone else. Ethan ate well the rest of the meal, mostly at the prompting of the people at the table.
The Family Bite works. And my sister is a genius (not that that was ever in doubt).

AHHHH, it feels so good to hear you speak the truth.
Just remember, the key to the "family bite" is to mix it up. You have to add in "Family Bite FREESTYLE" in the midst of all the "Family Bite Green Beans!" and let them eat whatever they want once in awhile or they will be on to you.
Works on Addie and Reese, too.
P.S. Don't eat at Waffle House.
Must try family...Uhmmmm- Family Biite.
I have known that your sister is a genius for years!!!!
