Inviting a friend over for dinner as a kid is a rite of passage. For the parents? It's a culinary minefield involving allergies, picky eaters, and the eternal question: will they actually eat it?
Geneva Brown, a mom who clearly knows the struggle, decided to preemptively tackle the menu with her son's friend, Max, before he committed to staying for supper. A wise move, as it turns out.
She ran through the evening's offerings: salmon, which Max cautiously approved once he realized it was, in fact, fish. Green beans and rice also got the nod. All good, standard dinner fare.

"What kind?" Max asked, ever the discerning diner. "Buttermilk," Geneva replied. And that's when things took a delightful, unexpected turn.
"I'm allergic to amoxicillin," Max declared, with the unwavering conviction only a child can muster.
Geneva, bless her calm, collected heart, managed to keep a straight face long enough to confirm that, yes, amoxicillin was indeed his only allergy. Clearly, this kid has been prepped on his medical history. The moment, captured on video, promptly racked up over 13 million views, because who doesn't love a child's perfectly logical, yet utterly absurd, leap of faith?
Even Popeyes Chicken weighed in on the viral sensation, assuring the internet that "Our biscuits don't contain amoxicillin." Which, if you think about it, is a surprisingly specific and necessary clarification in this day and age. Max, proving he's both polite and hilariously sharp, now has a dinner story that will probably be retold at every family gathering for the next decade.
