I never wanted to be a chicken nugget mom. In fact, I was hoping to be more of a “get your five servings of organic fruits and veggies every day no matter what or heads will roll” kind of mom. Somewhere along the line, I got terribly lost. It might have had something to do with the fact that my oldest son refused to eat anything that wasn’t you during his toddler years. I mistakenly thought that he would grow out of this phase and eventually he’d try at least one of the dozens of foods I presented to him, but I foolishly underestimated your grasp over his taste buds. For that, I am truly sorry.
