Every Parent Buys Chicken Nuggets Eventually

Emily Holden: I remember my sister being like, “I will never give my kids chicken nuggets.” And it’s like, “Yes, you will. Yes, you will.”

We are Moms Unhinged, a nationally touring standup comedy show. Join us in our podcast as we explore everything from motherhood, midlife, crisis, marriage, divorce, online dating, menopause, and other things that irritate us.

I’m your host, Andrea Marie, and I’m joined today by the lovely, the fantastic, amazing Emily Holden. Welcome, Emily.

Emily Holden: Aw, thank you, Andrea. It’s so nice to see you.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, so fun. I know, so fun. We chat on the phone a lot so like, it’s fun to see each other in person, in, like on camera.

Emily Holden: Yeah.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, yes.

And for those of you listening, Emily has her own episode of course, but we were just, today we’re talking more about picky eaters and feeding kids. But I wanna just share a little bit about how wonderful Emily is. She’s one of our Atlanta based comedians. She tours all over the place with Moms Unhinged.

She is down in Georgia and it’s not too humid.

Emily Holden: Yes, it’s beautiful right now. Not for long. Not for long.

Are Your Kids Picky Eaters?

Andrea Marie: Yeah. That’s, that’s great. So yeah, let’s just dive in and talk about, about feeding kids, which is such a challenge. And I didn’t even… I mean, that’s like one of the things that you don’t even really wrap your head around before you have kids.

You have no idea, like, how challenging it is to come up with meal plans and healthy food and, you know, the grocery shopping, all of it.

Emily Holden: Yes.

Andrea Marie: Are your kids picky eaters?

Emily Holden: Both of them. And yes, in completely different ways. And I mean, I even feel like I have, I even feel like parents are a little smug about it when the kid’s like zero, one, two, because it’s really the first thing that kids have control over. You know, which supposedly is part of what pickiness is from, is that it’s something they can actually control.

And so like, I have one girlfriend in particular who will remain nameless, you know, where she was like, “Oh, you know, we don’t keep ketchup in our house.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Emily Holden: And I’m like, “Yeah, you have a one-year-old. You don’t need ketchup. Just wait.” You know?

Andrea Marie: Just wait.

Emily Holden: My oldest, we asked when they were like four what their favorite color was, and they said, “Ketchup.”

Andrea Marie: Ketchup? Ketchup.

Emily Holden: Parenting right there. I don’t think that’s a J. Crew color, you know?

Andrea Marie: Like get this sweater in ketchup.

Emily Holden: Right, yes.

Andrea Marie: Oh.

Emily Holden: Yeah, so I feel like, yeah, and I, and like I remember my sister being like, “I will never give my kids chicken nuggets.” And it’s like, “Yes, you will. Yes, you will.”

Andrea Marie: Yeah, ’cause I mean, like, they get it at other places. I mean, you can, you know, you feed them the diet, and then once they start going to friends’ houses, they start like, experiencing food outside, they’re like, “Wait, this is available? Chicken nuggets are available? I am demanding chicken nuggets right now.”

Emily Holden: In the shape of dinosaurs?

Andrea Marie: Oh, God, the dinosaurs. Don’t get me started. That was it, you know? Dinosaur chicken nuggets. That was a, I mean, we had that in our house for 15 years. They still eat them. They still eat them. They’re 20.

Emily Holden: I mean, okay, so tell me, okay, so my kids are nine and 14, and then yours are in their 20s. So can you still remember? So obviously just the way you’re talking, you can still remember the intensity from when they were little.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. I mean, it was just, it was so hard to come up with this variety of food and you’re trying to have them eat healthy. And you’re like planning.

planning You plan the things, and you’re trying to get them to try new things, and they try one little zucchini and spit it out on their plate, and they’re like, “Blah, I’m not eating…”

When Toast Is Too Spicy

Andrea Marie: You know, like, “That’s slimy.” You know, and I get… there’s like all these different things that are factoring in, like the texture and the flavor and the, you know, spices. I remember, like one time, like I think they did actually say that the toast was too spicy.

Emily Holden: I know. like the palate of a four-year-old and an 85-year-old are the same, you know? I mean, one of my friends I think said it best. She was like, like, “Kids ruin food.” Like, ruin the excitement and experience of it, you know? I don’t know. This is weird.

So my oldest was picky, but in different ways than a lot of kids are picky, and also kind of sounds like… I almost sound like a parent that you wanna roll your eyes at, because they did eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, but would not touch a piece of bread, would not eat spaghetti, would not eat a tortilla, right?

So, and then of course, this was happening right when like, the low carb phase was, like, at its peak highest. And I would have girlfriends be like, “Well, you’re so lucky.” And I’m like, “No, no. Try to send a kid to school that won’t eat a sandwich.”

Andrea Marie: Exactly.

Oh my He doesn’t like peanut butter. I’m like, I still live on peanut butter and jelly.

Yeah. Yeah, me too.

Emily Holden: Right? And so, yeah. And it wasn’t like, a carb thing, because they love pizza, they love spaghetti.

So it’s like, was it a texture thing?

Andrea Marie: Yeah. Yeah,

Emily Holden: It just.

Andrea Marie: That’s so strange. And then if you’ve got picky in different ways, you’re trying to be like, okay, what, you’ve got two kids who are like, “Well, I won’t eat that and I won’t eat that,” and then you’re left with like mashed potatoes. Like, that’s all you can eat, you know?

Emily Holden: Oh no, there’s no mashed potatoes in our house.

Andrea Marie: No, Actually, yeah.

I

Emily Holden: Nobody eats it. I would but.

Cooking Five Different Dinners

Andrea Marie: I had, my kids would like, like potatoes in different varieties. They both like french fries, but like one liked mashed potatoes and one liked hash browns. So you know, like I’m like all of a sudden it, and like I’m all of a sudden some sous chef cooking like five different things. You know, that’s just not right.

Emily Holden: It really does, it ruins. Yeah, it’s just a sad experience. I mean, sometimes I feel like we would try to go out to eat, let’s say we’d go to, like, Mexican, and we could actually order like, one full meal, and the parts that came with it, one kid would eat what was part of it, and then one kid would eat the other.

Andrea Marie: Oh, yeah.

Emily Holden: So one, my oldest, like, loves meat.

Andrea Marie: Uh huh.

Emily Holden: Loves meat so much. And I wanna talk about this too, ’cause I wanna see if you remember this. Because when I was pregnant with them, I loved red meat, which I’m not really that big of a meat eater. But when I was pregnant, I loved meat and potatoes, meat and potatoes. And they love meat.

But guess what? Do you know how gross a hamburger looks without a bun at most places? Like, even a nice, like, bistro, they’re gray. Like, it’s disgusting looking, you know? And to this day will not eat a hamburger bun, right? It’s like, but then my other kid that’s nine, and again, I kinda sound like a jerk here, has actually been a vegetarian since they were like, five.

Andrea Marie: Wow.

Emily Holden: Nobody else in our house is a vegetarian.

Andrea Marie: My gosh.

Emily Holden: And I would say my husband’s favorite thing to do besides like, I don’t know, watch football and drink beer, is grill meat. And a really good cook, and he has a smoker and, you know, it’s like an art to him, and he’ll smoke something for a day.

And one of the kids doesn’t eat meat, so it’s like this is just so ridiculous. And then that kid, like loves bread. Like I’m talking, which I think a lot of kids, you know, like, you think about Thanksgiving dinner and the kids like roll, rolls, maybe mashed.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. Right, right.

The Bread-Loving Child

Emily Holden: Well, Lucy loves bread. Oh God, this is one of my favorite stories.

Lucy loves bread so very much. Like there’s, Well, two stories actually. One, one is like there’s this place we’ll go and they get like candy and like an Icee after school on Friday, but it’s also a little bougie and they sell like baguettes. She’ll get a baguette along with her Icee, right? You know.

Andrea Marie: Uh huh.

Emily Holden: And she’ll just start like eating it whole.

And I’m like, “That was for the family. This isn’t a lollipop,” you know? But she loves… She probably loves bread because she’s hungry ’cause she doesn’t eat any meat, you know? But my favorite, when she was about three, we were having dinner. I don’t remember what we were having. Probably tacos. It definitely did not involve bread.

And I look over, she’s next to me, and she’s eating bread. And I’m like, “What? Where, where?” Like I know she hadn’t gotten up from that meal because she does a lot. I know she had not gotten from the table. I’m like, “Where did this bread come from?” So she had hidden it in like the groove of the table leg and like, you know, the piece that goes like this.

She had hidden it the day before because she likes bread so much that she’s like, “Man, in case I need it later,” know.

Andrea Marie: She’s like a squirrel, like a bread squirrel.

Emily Holden: She is, she is a bread squirrel. Yes.

Andrea Marie: And.

Emily Holden: Meanwhile, the other one will not eat bread unless it’s pizza.

Andrea Marie: God does, that bread has gotta be like super crusty at that point. You know? Like, it’s like leaving a slice of bread out. You’re like, or whatever, it’s crusty.

Emily Holden: Yeah. Yeah, and it wasn’t, you know, it was like baguette bread, so it wasn’t even like, you know, like the sandwich bread, the white sandwich bread that we grew up on, you know?

Andrea Marie: That’s so funny.

Emily Holden: I get a little less fired up now that they’re, I mean, they’re definitely better eaters than when they were little.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Emily Holden: You know?

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

What We Ate Growing Up

Emily Holden: But I don’t know if you feel this way, like, I’m just like my mom, I love her, but like I would come home from morning kindergarten, right? ‘Cause back then it was just half day ‘ cause that’s all you needed. Three hours of kindergarten was enough, right? Go Kentucky. Come home from morning kindergarten, we would watch All My Children, and she would make me tuna fish on saltines.

Andrea Marie: Man, yeah.

Emily Holden: Like, you know, old school canned mayonnaise, sweet pickles. That was it, right? It was not the fancy tuna fish we all eat now, you know? And she probably didn’t have one out. Like if I fed that to my kids, I would feel so guilty, you know?

Andrea Marie: Yeah, it’s funny what we used to. I mean like, you know, we used to eat bologna. I mean, that like, I don’t know. What’s in there? I don’t know. Like, I would just eat it slice after slice of bologna, and then I’d eat some Ding Dongs, and then I’d, you know, that was my lunch or whatever, you know? Some Cheetos.

Like, it was just not. And we would try like, my mom I think would try and, you know, make something like a casserole with some peas in it, you know, with some vegetables. That’s all we, you know, we never really had like this colorful bento box full of, you know, whatever.

Emily Holden: No. No. I mean, we would eat veg. Like, my parents had a garden, so I would sit in the garden and, like, pop cherry tomatoes.

Andrea Marie: Oh, yeah.

Emily Holden: But there was a lot of other… I don’t know. I mean, I’ve been to your house. I’ve raided your snack cabinet. It’s very Colorado, right? Like, I remember ’cause you were like, “Make yourself at home.”

I was like, “Okay, I’m hungry.” And like, I open it and it’s like all the amazing. Like, every trail mix you’ve ever like, heard of. You know, like 30 different nuts.

Granola bars and yeah. Protein bars. So you’re, I mean, you’re healthy. Like, do you feel like eating bologna… I don’t know how to say it.

Do you think you liked it as a kid and then you eventually like, outgrew it? Or would you still like them?

Andrea Marie: I mean, I still eat. So here’s what I eat that is my little like, road snack when I’m going, like if I have to drive. I know, if I have to drive far or if I’m taking an airplane, I pack a lunch like an old lady, but it’s not a good lunch. It is peanut butter and jelly, Pringles, and then I throw some Pringles or Fritos.

I love Fritos.

Emily Holden: Plain? Which flavors?

Andrea Marie: Oh yeah, no flavors. I can’t do the flavors. I’ve never done flavors as a kid. I didn’t do a lot of flavors as a kid either. But then, I might throw in some carrots.

Emily Holden: That’s that Midwest, the Midwest snowflake. It just potato and salt.

Andrea Marie: Yep, exactly. Exactly. So yeah, that’s my little road snack. It basically, I feel like I’m five and I’m, you know, or 80. One of those two.

Emily Holden: Yeah, it’s satisfying.

Andrea Marie: It’s so yummy.

Emily Holden: Peanut butter,

Andrea Marie: Mm.

Emily Holden: peanut butter, again, that, not to dog my children, but that’s kinda what this episode is about.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Emily Holden: Having a kid, it’s so funny ’cause my oldest still doesn’t like peanut butter to this day.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Emily Holden: Which was so difficult, right? And then my youngest, I really feel like did like peanut butter but didn’t want to because their big sibling didn’t, so they kinda wanted to.

And I’m like, and I’m like, “No, you like peanut butter.”

Andrea Marie: Yeah, some of, it’s funny how that can definitely blend over. Like, the youngest is like, “Oh, we don’t like that? Okay, we don’t like that.” You know? But then there’s sometimes where he wanted to be different and he’s like, “No, I don’t like, you know, I don’t like mashed potatoes, I like hash browns,” or whatever it is.

The Quinoa Incident

Andrea Marie: You know, like something. But like, they both were, I mean, so much mac and cheese and chicken nuggets, ’cause that was a go-to. We knew they would eat that. Never even like tacos, like we couldn’t make them too spicy, just not like super plain, not a lot of flavor. And you know, the funny thing was, well, my youngest kinda sometimes had a texture issue.

Like he, one time I tried to, like I was trying to be healthy and I served quinoa. And my whole thing was, “All right, you gotta take one bite. You gotta take one bite. Just try it.

You’re young.

Emily Holden: No thank you, bite.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, you just try it. I’ve made it, you try it.” So he took one bite of quinoa, and then he barfed.

Emily Holden: Uh, yeah.

Andrea Marie: I’m like, “Okay.”

You know, I was like… and I used to have a little, a whole little joke about it like, “Oh, that’s what it takes to get out of eating my healthy food,” then, you know.

Emily Holden: Uh.

Andrea Marie: Okay.

Emily Holden: Yeah. He never throws, like, like the fruit gummies.

Andrea Marie: No, no, no. Those were, oh God, the gummies. The all different fruit roll-up kind of whatever it was. Oh my gosh. Now they’re older, and they’re definitely more adventurous, which is good.

Like, he went to Asia, and I was like, for a gap year. And I was like, “How are you gonna survive?” Like, you know, they have weird foods over there, you know? But he tried a lot, and he has come back with, he definitely has a much better palate now.

But I remember seeing my friend, her kids were, like, trying octopus and stuff like that when they were, like, six. I was like, “What?” You know, my kids would have, like, mutinied if we had that.

Emily Holden: Yes. That’s my brother-in-law, their kids, my nieces, they’re really adventurous eaters. And I know when we’re all together it’s like, “Oh, Emily and Blair’s kids are so picky.”

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Emily Holden: And I’m like, “But they have better manners, so whatever.”

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Emily Holden: The texture thing is real. I mean, I think my oldest used to gag a lot at like…

Yeah. And we actually talked to a nutritionist ’cause we were like, “You know, the bread that like, is this okay?” And they’re like, they like, at this point they’re eating enough other stuff that it’s probably fine. You know? It may just be a texture thing. But like, I don’t know. But then they were so particular to, we have Publix grocery stores here, and Maggie would only eat the cheese sticks from Publix.

Andrea Marie: Wow.

Emily Holden: And it was like she had it in her head that whatever the green packaging. I’m like, “They’re all…” First of all, cheese sticks, probably none of it’s actually cheese. You know, it’s plastic probably. Like that’s probably why she liked it.

Andrea Marie: Yeah

Emily Holden: But it was like, it was so frustrating ’cause I’m like, “Ugh.” And then we just try so…

Yeah, we joke, my other kid, Lucy, my husband jokes that she eats, factory to table of farm to table.

Andrea Marie: Factory to table. Yum, ooh.

Emily Holden: When they were little, like when they were really little, like it was easier, like you said. Like we hadn’t, you know, they hadn’t had Cheez-Its before or Chex Mix. And now it’s like if we go to the pool she’s like, “Gotta grab the box of Cheez-Its.” And I’m like, “We’re going to the pool for 30 minutes,” you know?

Like, you don’t have to have the box of Cheez-Its, you know?

Andrea Marie: Yeah, that’s funny.

Did Your Kids Get It From You?

Emily Holden: So were you picky as a kid?

Andrea Marie: Now, I don’t really remember that much about being picky. It was kind of like, you know, back then it was like, “This is the food, this is the dinner.” You know? It’s like, “This is it. This is what you’re getting.” And my mom, I mean, we had a couple of weird things growing up where we had powdered milk.

Emily Holden: Yeah.

Andrea Marie: And we always ate wheat bread. Like, we never even got white bread for, I never tried white bread until I was, like, way older and like, at lunch at someone else’s house. So you know, it was just like, ” This is it. This is what you get.” You know? And my mom would buy, like, a lot of sugary snacks ’cause she had a sweet tooth.

So we always had, yummy sugary stuff that I would probably fill up on a little bit way too much, you know? And she, so I remember, you know, when I was really young but, like, I remember when she went back to work and we would be at home, you know? And I think I just remember plowing through like, 12 American cheese, like you unwrap it, slices.

I’d plow through like 12 of those. I mean, just eat terrible like, stuff, whatever was around. And we had it around.

Emily Holden: Yes

Andrea Marie: They never said anything about, “Hey, why are there, why are there, you know, five Ding Dongs missing?” You know, or whatever.

Emily Holden: Yeah, yeah. Nutty bars, that was my, oh man.

Andrea Marie: Oh man, we never got the, we never got the Little Debbie stuff.

We got into Hostess. We were big Hostess. We had the Ho Hos. We had the Suzy Qs.

our,

Emily Holden: And they’re not very good now. Like, you try.

Andrea Marie: Oh, you’re like, oh God. Oh God.

Emily Holden: It’s so. Even, I mean, this is the problem. I mean, we’re a little bit of… I mean, I’m not a food snob. Like, I’m sitting drinking a Coke Zero, right? Like I’ll take my aspartame. But we do, like, you know, I do consider myself to, like, have good food taste for the most part, and like, especially compared to my parents, and we’ll be eating with them, and they’re like, “You’re such food snobs.”

And I’m like, “Sorry that I didn’t want, the coleslaw from Kroger.” You know what I mean?

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Emily Holden: And now my girls are a little bit like that too. You know, we’re like, they tried McDonald’s and they thought it was gross.

Andrea Marie: Yeah, I know. We don’t do McDonald’s hardly ever at my. You know, and so it is kind of like, and my kids don’t really like it, I think. Maybe they hide it. I don’t know.

Emily Holden: Yeah, they’ll still eat the heck out of candy. I mean, Lucy will fill up on candy.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Emily Holden: Would fill up, yeah, on candy so easily.

Andrea Marie: Now, were you a picky eater as a child?

Emily Holden: Yeah. Again, I think this is where it started because. So my mom had gone back to, she had gone back to grad school and I can’t remember if she was still working. Whatever it was, the schedule got exponentially busier, as it does, right? I only have one sister and she’s eight years older, so it was a bit.

You know, whatever. So we ate a ton of fast food.

food And I was so picky about it. So like, if we went to Taco Bell, even at, like, seven years old, maybe this is the Virgo in me, but I refused to eat the meat at Taco Bell. So it was like even then I knew how disgusting that stuff was. You know, so they would get me plain tacos with just cheese and lettuce, and that’s what I would eat.

So I was definitely… And apparently my husband was pretty picky. He’s like, he’s still picky. He thinks he’s not picky, but he is. Like, you know, he will cut every… And it’s not, he’s not worried about fat. He eats plenty of fat, but like, if there’s gristle, you know, on the meat, he’ll be cutting all of it off like, so particular.

Like, our moms. Well, my mother-in-law’s passed now, but our moms, when they were together, they were like, as our kids would revolt on everything and they were like, “This is their payback.” Like, “They deserve this so much,” you know?

Andrea Marie: It’s gotta be kinda satisfying as a mom who’s endured to watch.

Emily Holden: Right.

Andrea Marie: Get a little, see a little revenge, a little payback.

Emily Holden: Right. Well, and now Maggie is old enough that they’ll watch Lucy some, right? Like babysitting. And I will get home and it is so funny because it’s like Maggie sounds like a tired mom. You know? She’ll be like, she’ll be like, “Oh my God, Lucy did not touch her dinner, but then got two extra scoops of ice cream.

And I said, ‘ No toppings until your plate is finished.'” You know? And I’m like, “Yeah, you see how it is?” You know? But then it’s like, it’s so weird too because Maggie’s like, Maggie’s very particular where like Lucy will like sneak it, you know? And I’m like, “What’s in your hand?” Like we’ll be running out the door, I’m like, “What’s in your hand?”

“Nothing.” I’m like, “I see candy wrapper.” Like I see the glistening silver coming, you know?

Andrea Marie: she’s The one who was hiding the bread, right?

Emily Holden: Yes. Yeah. Uh,s she’s just gonna be wild, period. Like, she just, the youngest.

Andrea Marie: Yeah. So now how do you do, how do you deal with that with her being vegetarian? Are you like, are you taking?

Emily Holden: Not well.

Andrea Marie: Are you taking into account that or is she kind of taking the lead on figuring out her own food? Or what do you, how does that work?

Emily Holden: I think that like if we’re having a dinner that’s like revolves around something with me, then I’m just plopping down some extra protein to make myself feel good for her, right?

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Emily Holden: She eats a ton of like tofu, hummus, so much cheese. Her arteries are probably so clogged, honestly, ’cause she’s not vegan, you know?

then chickpeas.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Emily Holden: So we’ll air fry the chickpeas, you know, and with like olive oil, except… I don’t think she’ll listen to this podcast, so it’s okay. But one day, like she got home and then she was like watching probably on her iPad, like the good mother that I am, and she ate– I mean, she’s a small person.

I mean,

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Emily Holden: she’s nine.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Emily Holden: She ate a whole can of chickpeas in one sitting.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Emily Holden: And so she actually called from school the next day and she was like, “I have to come home,” because like her gas was so bad. I mean, I don’t I could eat a whole can of chickpeas. Like she ate a whole can in one sitting.

Andrea Marie: Hilarious. I know, I don’t think I could eat a whole can. That is a lot. That’s like, just the volume alone, but then yeah, just the digesting that whole thing.

Emily Holden: So I don’t know. I mean, we try to be kind and do more vegetarian recipes, you know? But I think at this point, like that’s it. Like if she’s been doing it four years, like I think this is for life, you know? And there’s nothing, I’m not against it, it’s just again, like you said, being a short order cook and then Maggie would live on red meat and sausages.

Andrea Marie: Yes. you know Yeah, what a contrast. So wow. Oh my gosh, so crazy. So crazy. Yeah Do we have any advice for moms out there dealing with picky eaters? Do we have anything?

Advice For Moms Dealing With Picky Eaters

Emily Holden: Don’t be smug when they’re little because it’s gonna come back bite you.

I was smug and it came back to bite you. Okay, this is a dorky piece of advice. I’ve gotten it for other friends over the years. Like, I do keep, and this sounds high and mighty, but we do keep like, a Tupperware thing of cut up vegetables in the fridge that we just keep out all the time, right?

So if they have, if I know they’re not gonna eat that, whatever it is at dinner because it’s all mixed, I’m like, “Okay, just snack on that.” You know?

Andrea Marie: Yeah, for sure.

Emily Holden: I don’t know. What about you?

Andrea Marie: I would say just keep trying, just keep getting them to try things, taste things. You know, I think that’s the big thing is just keep insisting they, they try one bite. That’s it. That’s all they need to try. I mean, sometimes they’re spitting it into their napkin or whatever, but you know, they gotta.

We can’t let them win all the time.

Emily Holden: I think it’s like, you choose what, they choose how much, or something like that. And I think the other piece of advice is just don’t take it as a personal failure.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Emily Holden: If they’re picky. You know? Like to me that’s, ’cause I think I got probably overly worried.

Andrea Marie: Right.

Emily Holden: You know, with both, and they’re gonna, like it is so much easier now. Like Maggie eats taco shells now, which before they would order four tacos at our taco joint and pour the carnitas on a plate, so it was just a pile.

Andrea Marie: Pile of meat.

Emily Holden: Like a mound of meat And it, you’re like, “Well, okay.

Andrea Marie: How right. I know, for sure. Yeah, pick your battles. ‘Cause they will not… I mean, I do think that they’re not gonna start, they’re gonna eat something. You know, it might.

Emily Holden: And they get sick of, I do think too, they get sick of when they’re really picky, I do think eventually they get sick of the thing they always eat.

Andrea Marie: Yeah.

Emily Holden: You know what I mean?

Andrea Marie: Sure, yep.

Emily Holden: Yeah.

Andrea Marie: Well, Emily, this has been so much fun. Thank you so much for hopping on, joining us, talking about picky eaters. It’s a journey, the whole thing, but they eventually grow into adults and, you know, then they have to deal with it.

Emily Holden: It’s not your battle anymore. Exactly.

Andrea Marie: All right, why don’t you let people know where they can find you?

We’ll have it in the show notes.

Emily Holden: Awesome. All right. Thank you. Oh, emilynholdencomedy.com. Yeah, sorry. Big brain.

Andrea Marie: Thanks everybody.
