Eat Your Carrots

The baby bunny did all he could to jerk and move his head away from the spoon. Nick did his best to spoon the mashed carrots into Alex's mouth, but the kit simply refused to open his mouth. 

"Come on, Alex. Please eat your carrots. Do it for daddy, please?" Nick asked in vain, giving it another go, but to the same aftermath. The bunny was in full denial. Nick's ears drooped. He glanced over to his wife Judy, who was spooning the food into Johanna and Peter's mouths with seamless ease. He watched in awe, it was as if she was born to be a mother, just like she was born to be a cop. 

"How do you do it so easy?" he asked.

"Eh?" she replied with a shrug of her shoulders.

He looked over to his son, Peter, who gurgled and smiled at his father. Not a single drop of food stained his green bib. Nick gave a toothy smile back, and the pup giggled. "I'm just surprised he likes carrots as much as he does. I can't get Alex to even open his mouth." Judy turned her head to the pup as she spooned another bite into his mouth.

"Well he is part bunny. All three of them might be omnivores. All babies are different. Here, let me try." She spooned the baby jar, and looked down to see that all the food was gone. Johanna slammed her tiny paws on the high chair tray, still clearly hungry. She grinned. "Well I got to go get another jar. This little girl is still hungry."

"Okay, and I'll order us some food in the mean time." Nick said standing up from the chair. He placed the mostly full jar of mashed carrots on Alex's high chair. The curious kit lifted the jar, turning it upside down and emptying most of its contents onto his tray. Alex put the jar in what he thought was his cup pocket, but in reality was Peter's who repeated the process. Alex ran his paws into the food as if it were art time in school. He then began slamming his paws on the tray, splashing the food everywhere, some droplets even catching in Johanna's fur on the complete other side of him. 

Soon enough, Nick hung up the phone and went back to check on the babies. What his eyes saw made him burst into uncontrollable laughter. Judy's ear perked at the sudden jovial attitude of her husband. She smirked while cocking an eyebrow. "What is it?"

He calmed down enough to form a coherent sentence. He motioned his paw in the direction of the room. "I think you should come and see this." He said between his laughs. Judy pulled down the baby food jar, and walked into the room. She too began to laugh.

Alex was literally covered from head to toe in puree carrots, and Peter and Johanna faired no better, also being covered in baby food. Not as much as Alex, of course. Judy walked over to the bunny kit taking the glass jar away. "Did you make a mess?"she asked in that motherly, baby-talk tone. Alex began to laugh and gurgle. He opened his paws and clenched to his mother's fuzzy cheeks, smearing her with the food. She chuckled as the kit let go. He stared at his food covered paw, and put it in his mouth, licking it nearly clean.

Judy popped the jar of green beans open, took a spoonful out, and motioned her arm in a circle in front of her hungry son's face. "Here comes the airplane. Reeeeewwrr!" Alex happily opened his mouth, taking in the delicious green beans. Judy gave a heartwarming smile at her son, booping his nose with her finger. She looked back to Johanna, who began slamming her paws on the table again, this time letting out an annoyed whine. Nick leaned off of the doorway, "Alright Jojo, hang on." he says walking back into the kitchen to get her a jar of potatoes and brocoli.
