The Girl Who Wouldn't Eat

I'm sure a few of you have heard this story. Maybe several times already, but maybe if I write it, I'll get it out of my system. It's the story of a little girl named Winnie, who decided that she didn't want to eat food anymore. She mainly ate babyfood, but suddenly it was strongly rejected - along with any other sort of nourishment coming near her mouth, with the exception of breastmilk. This thoroughly distressed her mother, whom despite advice that it was 'normal' was sure something was severly wrong with her child. Her poop was practiclyturning back to that of a newborn! Winnie's brother had eaten babyfood until he was almost two! The mother's stress levels did not subside until a week later at her daughter's first birthday party, when a friend advised that both of her own children could be filled up by a kernel or two of corn. The mother felt much relief and decided to offer food to her child, and if it was refused to get on with her very hectic schedule. The following day as she was eating leftover potato salad from the party, the mother offered some to her daughter. Suprise! It was eaten willingly, and from that moment on, Winnie ate happily ever after. Chow down she did-chilli, pumpkin coconut soup, you name it, just not baby food. Her mother also discovered a few days later that Winnie had three new emersions in her mouth, one being a molar, which may have been a factor in this multiplication problem.
