Is there anything more exciting than giving your baby new foods? I remember watching in fascination to see if my little ones would enjoy bananas or avocados, laughing at their scrunched-up faces to green beans, and feeling surprised by their love of refried beans. One classic food to introduce is one you won’t expect your toddler to like: lemons! Lemons are sour, and their reactions are usually downright hilarious — but not for Olivia Munn’s baby Méi. She had a surprising reaction to her first lemon that has everyone impressed.
“Her first lemon,” the Your Friends & Neighbors star wrote over a video of her 1-year-old daughter on Instagram. Méi looks adorable in a brown-and-white gingham dress with ruffled sleeves and a matching bow in her long brown hair. She is sitting in a high chair with her tray filled with rice and veggies.

As Méi brings the slice of lemon up to her lips, she looks straight at her mom and takes a bite. She just chews it like it’s a chunk of watermelon or a strawberry, looks at it, then takes another bite. This time, she goes hard, biting into it like it’s nothing more than a lemon-shaped teether. This baby isn’t affected by the sourness of the lemon at all!
“Straight from the rind and she doesn’t even flinch. 🍋 🍋 🍋,” Munn captioned the video.
Basically everyone was just as impressed as we were. “’When life gives you lemons, you eat them.’ -Mei Mei,” one person joked. Another praised, “🥰It’s the Vietnamese side of Mei! Nothing will scare her 💛”
“Sheesh! Built different! 😤💪🏽😆” someone else wrote. Someone else asked, “How is this possible!!??”
“She’s ready to go on Hot Ones with her daddy! 🌶️ 🍋,” another suggested.
This just goes to show that every baby is different!
Munn, who shares Méi and son Malcolm, 3, with husband John Mulaney, celebrated her daughter’s first birthday last month with a plum-and-dragon-themed party (she was born in the year of the dragon and her name means “plum”).
“She is the happiest, smiliest baby who will also let you know exactly when she doesn’t like something or want something you won’t give her (she mostly wants all the sharp things 😑),” Munn wrote on Instagram. “She is absolutely in love with her big brother, if I’m in the room she insists that I be the one to hold her and her daddy is the only one who can put her to bed.”
“She’s so cute when she drinks out of straws, she wants to be independent but also have me carry her … her favorite cuisine is Thai and no matter what room she’s in she always manages to find the outlets 🔌😵💫 ,” Munn continued. “She’s crawling, standing and desperate to walk. Just like her Chinese zodiac and the translation of her name, she’s the perfect mix of a dragon and a plum.”
