Confession time: Before Julian was born I worked as a teacher at a funky day
care center/Kindergarten. For the most part there weren't too many wierd
rules, but one of them was at snack time, you had to taste everything.

Well, there was this one kid who ALWAYS resisted trying vegetables. He would
sit there, missing out on playing, not crying (we probably would have gotten
how stupid this rule was if he had), but just sitting there, FOREVER.

Finally he would taste the thing, announce he LOVED it, and ask for more.
Then the next time the same thing would happen.

I agree. Lame rule. I like Sandra's "Marty doesn't like ____ yet."
