Pretty solid meal. Looks fancy. I agree with whoever said grape juice in a wine glass. Anything in a wine glass makes it fancy, actually.

I am trying to remember what my kids wanted at that age. I think they mostly would have requested chili. Did feed them lots of different things and all grew up with good broad palates.

TIL I am 5.

The wine is just for the adults

Awww... But it's their birthday!

A daughter with such refined tastes is a treasure

The fact it is a bit of cheese melted on top and not cheese sauce triggers.

As a father who fails at trying to convince my 3 year old daughter to try something else besides Mac and Cheese and grapes every.single.night for dinner, you're winning at this parenting thing.

Aside from the grapes that's a hella fine dinner. Heck I'd even do the grapes but fancy . Good life choices here. In my day my day was the metal man Swanson fried chicken dinner with the brownie.

At least you won't have to eat your spaghetti with ketchup and mustard like my youngest wants. We indulge him, but I'm hoping he'll grow out of it, honestly. Any leftovers on his plate are always inedible because he wants fuckin mustard on all his shit.

When I was 5 I also liked the leafy broccoli part. Tolerated just a bit of the stem

Pretty sophisticated meal for a 5 year old

At fancy get-togethers, my step used to serve some sort of red or white juice in Bordeaux glasses for the children, when adults had wine and sparkling juice in flutes when when we had champagne. It served two purposes: it prepared children for adult formal events while also making the children feel more important. And if a kid's table was necessary, yes, an adult sat with the kids, to assist as necessary.

Get a glass of grape juice for the kids it looks like wine snd comes in a wine bottle
