Every boy eats dog food.

Children eat dog food.

Yeah…they do. I don't know if it's both boys and girls, but it's definitely boys.

Definitely.

I mean, they are kids after all. They do a lot of stuff their parents don't know about.

If you’re a parent, the first time you catch your son pouring sand down his pants, probably wasn’t his first time.

It definitely wasn't his first time, or second for that matter. And now “sand-pants” is just another thing, tacked on to the growing list of “stuff you gotta look out for”. This list by the way, should have your 9-year-old eating dog food at number one.

Well not really eating it, just tasting it a little.

Curiosity is a weird thing. It's what drove me to try it my first time.

It wasn't bad.

Well it wasn't bad, but it wasn't particularly good either. Honestly, it taste like dog food.

Who knew?

I also don't believe I'm the only one. Growing up, I saw other kids try it.

They were all boys.

Maybe it's just a boy thing. I dunno.

I don’t know anything.

I really don't even know what I'm trying to accomplish here anymore, I just feel like other people should know—kids are eating dog food.
