No, mom never really said what it wasâŠ.if sheâd had said it was worms or grubs heâd have scarfed it downâŠbut she just keeps saying âtry itâ⊠and thatâs just suspect to little boys.
If sheâd said, âYes, Calvin, itâs grubs, but I didnât want to upset you . . .â heâd have finished it all before she could finish her sentence.
Put the plate in front of the child; if it is hungry it will eat. If it doesnât eat, remove the plate and give nothing else till the the next meal. Soon sorts out fussy eaters. I am assuming, of course, that the meal is well prepared and delicious; Mum has to play her part too.
Our oldest wouldnât put the first spoon or fork full of any food in his mouth until smelling of it first. Now in his mid 40âs and our daughter in law laughs because he still does it!!
Pink Slime got a right-brain drive-by! If we can learn to love chlorine in our water (makes our dish, laundry and body washing more germicidal, if used carefully keeps our pet fish more disease-free), maybe we should enjoy beef that is ammonia de-loused. The mad cow you eat may be your last.
@Sharuniboy,Methinks you are skeptical and cynical, to say the least!For God to use evolution to create the universe would be incredibly cruel. There would be much pain, suffering and death hundreds of million of years before man came on the scene. Adam and Eveâs original sin, prompted by the serpent (devil), brought pain, suffering and death into the world.
âAnd as he (Sharuniboy) thus spoke for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul (Sharuniboy), you are beside yourself; much learning makes you mad.âActs 26:24
We did have to try a new dish before refusing it, or commenting on it. Also, since we filled our own plates, what we took we were expected to eat. So, for our family, Mom would have been right.
JoanHelen: Thank you for the nice compliment you gave me yesterday! I really appreciate it. I try my best because sometimes somebody has to try and do it!

In answer to (a).. If evolution âenhancedâ the quality of manâs life on earth, I would expect better from him, not continually worse. Not everything is based on âconvenienceâ or âcomfortâ. How about clean water and air. âMan dominates man to his injuryâ, not his betterment.
(b) This book which you attempt to denigrate is the most widely published, circulated and read book in the WORLD, not simply western culture. Available in more languages either in itâs entirety, or major parts, than any other writing in history.

Calvin at his best,
please forgive my asking but is Waterson penning Calvin and Hobbes again or are these the previously published ones(still hilarious as ever though).
