Why Broccoli?
I’m not sure what the dad’s aim was, other than a joke, but broccoli isn’t the best deterrent. Honestly, this is just an ode to how bad they prepare broccoli in the house. My kids would be all over that panhandler in ten seconds flat so we could make the lemon garlic steam roasted broccoli they all love.

Don’t get me wrong. My kids occasionally eat chocolate for breakfast. I’m not claiming Mom of the Year over here or anything. I’m just really, really good at making broccoli. That panhandler wouldn’t know what hit them. They could make a roadside veggie business with the right recipe.
