Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A mom from Florida may be starting to regret her wish for a non-picky eater child. Bruna Fava (@brufava) posted a clip on TikTok showing her 5-year-old daughter eating oysters at a restaurant. The text overlay reads: "Might've prayed a little too hard for a non-picky eater because now she goes to restaurants and orders oysters for herself."

"We love to eat [and] travel, and sometimes kids can be picky eaters, which is more than fine," the 36-year-old told Newsweek. "We should embrace how they are regardless of their food preferences." Up to 25 percent of children are considered picky eaters at some stage of early development, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. For many families, introducing new foods—or even getting a child to eat at all—can feel like a full-time job. That prayer may have worked a little too well. Fava's daughter first tried oysters in Malibu, California, when she was three. Since then, she's developed a taste for some other fancy foods, such as caviar, sushi and tomahawk steak. "I don't think oysters are obscure at all—it's seafood," Fava said. Though oysters might not top the typical kids' menu, Fava says her daughter's enthusiasm for them has made mealtimes far more adventurous—and entertaining. Fava's clip has been viewed 3.8 million times and received over 573,000 likes. Many other fellow parents shares stories of their kids' expensive tastes. "My 8-month-old loves French onion soup and steak. I'm cooked bro," one user joked. "It's all good until you've got three asking for sushi nights. Say goodbye to my retirement," another wrote. The response on social media has been overwhelming, with many parents reaching out for advice. "I get thousands of DMs for tips about this," Fava told Newsweek. "We are creating a brand to help other mothers like me—the name is Pixie You. We are announcing a line of solutions from kids' haircare [and] gadgets to Making life easier for motherhood today is our drive." For Fava, authenticity is key. "With TikTok, life is more real, and people are tired of unrelatable families. What you see there is exactly what it is," she said. Some parents may resent their child's expensive taste but as Fava wrote in her caption, she's pretty sure she "hit the jackpot" with her daughter.
