PreTeena by Allison Barrows for January 13, 2021

The future is never certain- eat dessert first.

Teena forgot to wear her top inside out for Opposite Day!

As long as she eats all of it.

I’m going to eat the dessert either way. If I ate it first, maybe I wouldn’t eat too much of the main dish.

I’ll bet this was really funny 15 years ago

I hope she’s not developing an eating disorder.

I’m told the French eat their salad last, to cleanse the palate.

When I was a half time hospital janitor one summer (about 128 pounds ago), on my 15 minute break I’d bemuse the assistant supervisor by ordering a slice of carrot cake and a hamburger and eating the cake first. It saved time to do so while the burger was cooking.

I used to get notes sent home all the time when I was in grade school, complaining that I ate my ice cream before my lunch. But we got it all at once, and if you didn’t eat the ice cream first, it was soup by the time you got around to it. My Mom asked if I ate my lunch and they’d say, “well yes, but that’s not the point.”
