i mean, the portions don't look huge - it's only babs who would perceive a serving of strawberries as overwhelming, and advise people that they should share them. it's not that there are too many strawberries for toddler Ethan to handle - it's because babs' weekly fruit intake is usually limited to few chunks of fruit on a Saturday, and even those have to be coated in jizz icing or melted chocolate for her to force them down. by "sharing", she means that posed with one of a photo, and possibly scraped her grellow teeth along the edge of one, and then shoved them at Ethan while she gorged herself on sugary snacks from her mum bag - as there is no way she'll have been able to even choke down a bite of strawberry without it being covered in sugar. a whole day out, just her and Ethan, she'll have been lugging around entire family-sized boxes of biscuits to keep her energy up - that will have been the "luggage" she had Ethan dragging up and down stairs.
we all know that if it weren't for photo opp to share as "such a GREAT mum, waiting in a line so the boy could buy the snack he wanted", there is no way she would have let little E queue to buy FRUIT. she doesn't even let him have fruit on a regular basis - a pre-packaged portion of mango is a weekly after-school treat. and tbh, it speaks volumes about their unhealthy diet and dramatic lack of nutrients when her 10 year old child asks for fruit as a special treat, rather than a cookie or ice-cream or whatever. his body is so desperate for nutrition that when he is given the choice, he opts for strawberries, as he has grown up to perceive fruit as a "treat" as it is such a rarity in the hobbit house, with babs shoving sweets and sugary snacks at him constantly. i noticed that it often happens at Disney too - when babs allows the kids to actually choose a snack themselves, rather than the usual pre-scheduled daily snack choices that SHE makes on their behalf - they often opt for a chocolate covered banana or a corn on the cob, usually more savoury and nutrient dense than sweet and high in sugary. says a hell of a lot about your "great parenting" when your son's little body is screaming out for nutrients!
