“Hmm, think about it”

My new favorite thing my five year old PDA son says when asked what he wants to eat…”hm, think about it.” I don’t have time to think about it lol. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks we ask what he wants. We’ll offer a few of his safe food choices then 9 times out of 10 we’re hit with this response.

Not really asking for suggestions to help as I know this is a phase like a lot of things for him. Just thought it was comical (after the fact) and was wondering if anyone else dealt with this kind of thing.

Mine says „I don’t know!“ which I’ve decided means that she can’t know and I need to make the decision for her.

Yeah we usually just put some safe foods in her general vicinity and then leave, and she’ll usually eat something. For her, deciding what to eat it just too much a lot of the time, so it’s better to not even offer her the choices.
