During dinner:

Me, after Tony tried the catfish: What do you think?
Tony: It's pretty good.
Me: I think it's a little bland.
Tony: Yeah, the crust could use more flavor.

I got out the Old Bay, sprinkled some on my fish, and handed the can to Tony since he was reaching out for it.

Me, after eating a bite: That's better.
Tony: Yeah, that's pretty good. (To Madelyn) Have you tried it yet?
Madelyn: No. I don't like catfish!
Tony: You haven't even tried it.

We got Madelyn to eat a bite.

Madelyn, after swallowing it and making every disgusted face possible: I don't like it.
Tony: What don't you like about it?
Madelyn: It's a little bland and the crust could use more flavor.
Tony: Did you enjoy parroting what Mommy and I just said?
Me: Why don't you try some Old Bay on it?

Madelyn begrudgingly let Tony put a little tiny bit on and then ate a little piece.

Madelyn: It's too spicy!
