My three-year-old has an obsession with McDonald’s. No matter what time of day it is, if you ask her what she wants to eat she’ll say “Donalds”, every single time! My husband said McDonald’s must be doing something right since they naturally attract children! I’ve never met a kid that didn’t like McDonald’s. Never. And...
