Ah, mixed vegetables, the parent’s way of trying to get kids to eat something they normally wouldn’t. My Mom used to hide one piece of green bean in my brother’s mixed vegetables, and when he was done that one piece of green bean would still be on his plate.

Petey seems to have a predilection for a Conspiracy Theory view of history…. Maybe he’s reading too much Little Neuro.

my dog could eat a whole bowl of dog stew, and the peas would remain in the bowl, I still can’t figure how he did it?

Not just mixed vegetables. No stews, etc. I STILL eat one thing at a time & I’m an Oldie — born in the last millennium. Petey expresses my worldview!

“Dill, don’t eat the Martian.”.One of the best lines EVER! .All by itself, that one made my day — after I cleaned up the orange juice I sprayed across the table.

“Dill, don’t eat the Martian.”
Yeah, Dill! Martians taste best al dente with cheese in a good Alfredo sauce!
