“You can be in the middle of a mental break down. Them kids gone ask for a snack”

When kids want food, nothing else matters to them—certainly not what their parents are going through. This was posted on Facebook by Toya Cooper on September 4, 2022, and it received over 21,000 shares:
   
“You can be in the middle of a mental break down. Them kids gone ask for a snack😭😭.”
 
“No one has less fear than a child who asks for a snack right after they refuse to eat their dinner” is another saying about children and snacking.
