What is it with ketchup and children?

[wildeyed]

We went to fast food for lunch today (yes it was BK). I got the kids seated and then got those little paper cup of ketchup, one for each child. As soon as I turned around, the two year old DRANK the entire cup. Blah!!!!

6. Confession time - I did the same thing

I can clearly remember taking the ketchup bottle out from teh fridge, filling up a cereal bowl, and downing it, spoonful by spoonful. Why? I still have no idea; it just tasted good. But a whole bowl!? At least I feel prepared as my child seems to need to taste-test everythign in his world!

7. My kid's wierd

He can't stand ketchup. He gets that from me. He's obsessed with french fries but prefers them with just salt and pepper.
