Little kids truly don’t realize how unhinged they are, do they? They chaotically throw themselves on the ground in the middle of supermarkets if they don’t get their way, literally gag instead of eating just one vegetable, and find new and unique ways to give their parents stress headaches every day. We love the adorable tiny dictators, but boy oh boy, parents of little ones are in the trenches! If it makes you feel any better, Andy Cohen knows exactly how you feel. His updates with son Ben, 5, and daughter Lucy, 2, prove that kids are totally in control and his latest video has us crying laughing.
The Bravo TV host shared his son’s reaction to the eggs he made him, and it’s so funny we can’t even feel bad for Cohen. “Feedback first thing in the morning — can anyone relate? ☀️ 🍳” he captioned a video on Instagram. In it, the camera is turned to selfie mode showing Cohen chatting to Ben and holding a plate of eggs and a biscuit.
“Ben, what’s the problem with the way that I make eggs, huh?” he asks his son in the clip.
“’Cause, they’re too soft,” Ben replies. Not too soft! We can’t handle this kid. (I mean, he eats gingerbread houses for breakfast, so he clearly has a highly refined palate!)
“Too soft? I think these are, like, hard eggs,” Cohen continues, trying to defend himself. (Poor guy, you know this will never end well!) “They’re too soft? That’s the feedback?” Cohen continues, putting his head in his hand. He keeps prompting Ben for a different answer, not realizing that he’s setting himself up to get utterly destroyed by his son’s sassy clapback.
“I just don’t like your eggs,” Ben says, adding, “for no reason!”
“For no reason?!” Cohen responds, clearly gagged by this response. “Well, now we’re getting somewhere. That’s … it is no reason.” Whatever makes you feel better, Andy!
Ben is clearly distracted by the TV because he doesn’t respond, so Cohen tries to bring it back. “How many episodes of ‘Bluey’ do you think you’re going to watch?” he asks, to no response from Ben. “Just — right,” he adds, nodding his head in defeat. You gotta know when to cut your losses and accept defeat, man!
“Now you know how it feels to be on Top Chef 😘” Top Chef winner Melissa King commented on the funny post. Someone else wrote, “100 crazy housewives and a baby named Ben is who takes Andy down😭😭😍😍”
Others gave Cohen warnings. “Tomorrow he will ask you why you didn’t make him eggs. Parenthood!😂” someone else said, and it’s so true! Another person commented, “Nothing humbles you faster than your children’s critique of your cooking. Thanksgiving … every year is a labor of love … hours of cooking and your children will eat a bread roll 😂😂” Are all kids the same?!
Rejecting his food isn’t the only way Cohen’s kids exasperate him. They also get annoying kids’ songs stuck in his head. The Watch What Happens Live host wrote on X yesterday that he is “living with a continuous loop in my head of the ‘Hot Dog Song’ from Mickey Mouse’s Clubhouse,” which he described as “a brand new form of torture!”
We’ll miss this stuff one day, right? (Right?!) Because in the midst of the toddler years, things are so tough, and we totally feel for Cohen. At least he has a sense of humor about it all!
