New York, meet the future champ of Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest.
Over the weekend, UK dad Arron Whysall stepped out for a mere 10 minutes and returned to find a scene that left him both stunned and impressed: His 3-year-old daughter downed a whopping 18 cups of yogurt in a single sitting.
Whysall left his 3-year-old, Olivia, alone with her 6-year-old brother Oscar when he ventured into the yard to fix the fencing in their back garden. The kids’ mom was in another room, leaving the two briefly unsupervised.
While Whysall periodically returned to the kitchen to check on his children, he was surprised when his son rushed outside to tell him that Olivia was eating yogurt.
The shocked dad said the toddler could handle the yogurt by herself, although it turns out he had no idea just how much. When he returned to the kitchen 10 minutes later, he found Olivia sitting in front of a giant pile of empty cups of yogurt.
Whysall peered around the room and house to be sure the yogurt had not been used as fingerpaint for their walls, but was ultimately tickled to find out his pint-size girl had actually consumed all 18 cups of the dairy snack — every last one in their refrigerator.
“When I found Olivia with all 18 yogurts, I asked her ‘Have you eaten all of those?,’ and she quite proudly said ‘Yes,’ ” the dad from Nottingham, UK tells the Mirror, adding that she had also victoriously raised her spoon in the air as she admitted it. He called to his partner, Billie Hardie, who could hardly believe what she saw, according to Whysall.
“It really made us laugh,” he says. “I had to wet wipe her face, as she was covered in it.”
So amazed at his “mischievous” daughter’s appetite that Whysall had to capture her gustatory accomplishment. The photo, which he shared on Facebook, has already racked up more than 10,000 shares.
“I just thought ‘fair enough,’ ” says the air conditioning engineer. “I couldn’t even tell her off for it because it was just too funny. I was more overwhelmed than anything.”
Hardie says they now keep the yogurt on the top shelf of the fridge, where Olivia can’t reach it.
“She does love her snacks,” says Whysall. “If you offer her a yogurt or fruit, she’ll always find room for it somewhere.”
“If there’s mischief to get up to,” he says, “Olivia will be the first one there.”
