Packed three different snacks in the diaper bag and my toddler only wanted the crackers I ate in the parking lot

I loaded the diaper bag like I was prepping for a weeklong expedition: cheese sticks, fruit pouches, and those organic puffs that cost more per ounce than filet mignon.

My toddler rejected all of it.

Punchline

Turns out the only snack worth having was the sleeve of crackers I stress-ate in the Target parking lot twenty minutes earlier.

Parenting tip: if you want them to ask for it, eat it yourself first.
