The box I drew around yes and no

I used to hate it when my daughter said no to trying new foods. Like — the food is delicious, just put it in your mouth, I'm not trying to trick you. Just try it first and then say no if you don't like it, right?

But then I thought — when was the last time I tried new foods? And hold that thought — when was the last time I tried new experiences, full stop?

At what age did I put a box around what I said yes to and what I said no to?

It's food for thought.
