I'm not that cruel, my kid just eats my cooking which is usually spicy as hell. And not to ruin the joke (if there actually is one here) some flowers are toxic, so the dad in this case is not only an asshole but could have poisoned his kid.

Luckily I think they were safe, usually flowers served with food - like violets - are edible.

I've made it a point (as has his grandfather and aunt) to teach my kid exactly what is edible and what is not, except for wild mushrooms at the moment since those can be subjective (edible under a pine tree = toxic) including flowers like dandelion and other plants. I'm a bit defensive when it comes to safety of kids especially mine, and there is not a single thing wrong with being able to forage for food if you're lost or just plain hungry.

That is really cool of you, I think you really work hard to be a good dad.
