Part 3/5:
The Power of the Onion Excuse: A Practical and Humorous Deterrent
What makes this tactic particularly amusing is the long-term effect it has had. According to the speaker, now "everything they eat has onions in it, even if it doesn’t." This implies that the constant use of the onion excuse has become a sort of universal shield during mealtimes, preventing Rooster from begging effectively.
It’s a humorous example of how a simple lie, when used consistently, can become a reliable method of training or controlling behavior—albeit in a lighthearted and innocent manner.
