Odd Tastes...
My sister is weird. She's four, starting the prime of her kidhood.
So how can there be so many things that kids ought rightly like that she doesn't?
She doesn't like the crunchy parts. Like on fried chicken, she'll only have the meat. Same thing for the Costco rotisserie chicken we buy now and then. The skin has the most flavor!
Even worse, get this: Butterscotch. It's, what, caramelized sugar and butter? It's amazing! How can she NOT like butterscotch?
And I understand tolerance for spiciness comes as you get older, but she can't stand even the slightest hint...
I mean, like the very slight spiciness in pizza sauce even. I'm certain when I was her age I could eat pizza with no problem. I mean, now I'm definitely more tolerant than probably even last year, but just pizza sauce? You can only tell there's spices in it if you try very hard.
Really, it's not that she doesn't LIKE things like that, it's that she specifically HATES them. If she was just like, eh, it's okay but not my favorite, okay, but how can she dislike BUTTERSCOTCH so much that she rejects cookies that have them in them? Those are the best cookies I've ever had!
*sigh* She'd better grow up normal.
