I told him I was going to make his vegetables disappear. Turns out he just threw them under the table. Mission accomplished? Either way, he fell for it and that's what matters.

This is gold. My kid did something similar where I said I was going to make his dessert vanish if he didn't eat his dinner, and he immediately started looking under the table for hiding spots. The logic of a five year old is something else.

The vegetable disappearing act is classic. My twins now just openly tell me they're not eating theirs and offer to throw them away themselves. They've completely called my bluff.
At least he's creative about it. My son just stares at vegetables on his plate and asks if we can exchange them for fruit instead. Negotiation skills through the roof.
