Grand Avenue by Mike Thompson for October 08, 2024

Face it kids, it’s a case of “The Golden Rule” grandma gots the gold so she sets the rules.

I’ve never understood the no snack rule. As long as it’s small and isn’t too close to a meal it doesn’t hurt anything.

Depends on the snack, one sugary sweet, calorie-laden cookie can do a lot to the hunger button! Tho’, I agree, it ‘s how close to the actual meal that’s more the answer to the snacks question.

What I couldn’t understand when I was a kid was the warning that “It will spoil your dinner”. So to me, this meant that having the snack was fine as long as you ate all of your dinner too, which I never had trouble doing (having been a chow hound as a kid and young adult). Somehow my reasoning didn’t fly with my parents.
