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\u2019t expect your toddler to like: lemons! Lemons are sour, and their reactions are usually downright hilarious \u2014 but not for Olivia Munn\u2019s baby M\u00e9i. She had a surprising reaction to her first lemon that has everyone impressed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cHer first lemon,\u201d the <em>Your Friends &amp; Neighbors <\/em>star wrote over a video of her 1-year-old daughter <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DP4G6JnAEmp\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:on Instagram;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">on Instagram<\/a>. M\u00e9i 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.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><strong>More from SheKnows<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">As M\u00e9i 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\u2019s a chunk of watermelon or a strawberry, looks at it, then takes another bite. This time, she goes hard, biting into it like it\u2019s nothing more than a lemon-shaped teether. This baby isn\u2019t affected by the sourness of the lemon <em>at all<\/em>!<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cStraight from the rind and she doesn\u2019t even flinch. \ud83c\udf4b \ud83c\udf4b \ud83c\udf4b,\u201d Munn captioned the video.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Basically everyone was just as impressed as we were. \u201c\u2019When life gives you lemons, you eat them.\u2019 -Mei Mei,\u201d one person joked.
