Parents use all sorts of tactics to get their picky eaters to consume calories, and sometimes it involves (a little) deception.
Recently, the author of Everything Here Is Under Control and The Second Season, Emily Adrian, turned to Twitter to share one scheme that worked really well on her 4-year-old son.

After seeing him "provoking" her by repeatedly putting a dirty leaf in his mouth, Adrian decided to make the most out of his mischief and offered him "special eating leaves" instead. Just like that, Adrian successfully made her son eat an entire bowl of plain old salad.
Moms and dads appreciated the woman's quick thinking and as her tweet was going viral, some of them even revealed similar scams they personally use on their little ones.
