My worst foods that I was forced to eat as a poor child:
1. Refried beans and a single hashbrown patty on a day-old hamburger bun

The most annoying reasons my kids cry:
1. They’re fighting over the Playstation.
2. They’re hitting each other.
3. They’re doing something worse than hitting each other, like spraying each other in the eyes with air freshener.
4. One of them wants to go to Taco Bell instead of to a nicer place.
5. They don’t want to put away their laundry.
6. They mistakenly believe they’re undergoing some sort of cruel hardship, even though they’ve never, ever been given refried beans and a single hashbrown patty on a day-old hamburger bun for their dinner.
