My picky eater, as a dinner plate is set before him:

“I love ham!”

What every Jewish mother loves to hear.

“Blueberries — yuck!”
What kid doesn’t like blueberries? They’re blue, and sweet. What’s not to like?
“Seaweed — yum! I love seaweed!”

Go figure.

“Can I have dessert?”
Now chocolate — that’s pretty much always a winner.

Just like his mama.
