Do you, too, eat the same, simple foods that equate to those of a five year old's diet? Do you have to check the menu before going out with friends? Do you dream about pizza, chicken nuggets, and mac and cheese? Well, you're at the right article and I'm sure you can relate! Here are some things that happen when you're like me and can only eat like a child.
1. Going to Chipotle and watching your friend get all the toppings and you getting nothing but rice and chicken.
Who's more disappointed, you or the friend?
2. Buffets end up being the best option because then you know if there isn't anything you like to eat, you know you can depend on the kid's section!
3. ...but then you remember that you're spending good money on a buffet and you're just eating mac and cheese and chicken nuggets.
Well, this is a waste.
4. Being invited to a party and having to text the host what kind of food there will be, just in case you have to eat before you get there.
I CAN'T HELP THAT I'M LIKE THIS.
5. Meeting new people and they ask you why you can't just try new foods.
*sigh* I HAVE tried new foods. Sometimes I try an actual food, sometimes I eat the side salad that comes with my food. I just CAN'T HELP THIS. I DON'T KNOW WHY I'M LIKE THIS. JUST LET ME EAT MY PIZZA IN PEACE.
6. Sometimes you have both the picky eater lifestyle with the small appetite and you're judged hardcore for both eating children's food and not even finishing it.
Again... why am I like this.
7. You can hardcore relate to the viral videos of the crying kids with food.
Like the boy on Wife Swap who packed his bags and left home because the swapped mom got rid of his bacon, or the girl who cried because she can't stop dreaming about waffles. THEY HAVE THEIR FOODS THEY'RE COMFORTABLE WITH, JUST LET THEM HAVE IT, MAN.
8. Going out on dates is a struggle because you have to figure out when is a good time to talk about how you don't eat like an adult.
How about we just never go out to eat? That's a good way to never have to find out if that's not okay with the person you're dating. Yeah, we can just eat before we see each other.
9. Turning 21 and realizing that having the child's diet also includes hating the taste of alcohol.
What's the best thing I can get that actually tastes like alcohol but also has like... no strong taste of alcohol? Oh, nothing? Okay... Coca-cola it is, then...
All in all, the best thing about having this child's diet is having friends who don't care about what you eat and will gladly change dinner plans to go somewhere where you have something to eat... even if that means getting something off the kid's menu.
