Happy child eating their dinner - ‘Yipee! Ninkey Nonks again!’

Our daughter told me she hated mushrooms when she came to us. So instead of leaving them out when I cooked, I simply chopped them into quarters instead of slicing them, to see if she’d notice. She did, but I said they were called Ninckey Nonks and she ate them, no problem...

It took her about 3 years before she saw me adding them to something and the penny dropped!! Still makes us giggle years later.
