On the other foods however (the list is too long to cover), they just let him not eat those things and to this day he has not gained a taste for them. Now he is the drill sergeant for burger boot camp and other foods, hopefully we will not continue the great tradition of family pickiness.

Umm, I think I can remember when I jumped rope in elementary school, but we were not doing a leisurely double dutch.
